Abstract

The sentence-final particle ge in the Anyuan Dialect shares functional similarities with Mandarin Chinese de, with its core discourse function being to mark the speaker’s assertion towards realistic events and epistemic commitment towards unrealistic events. Other functions of ge/ de, such as explanation, refutation, correction, and reminder, emerge from this core function through interactive contextualization. Notably, the sentence-final ge in the Anyuan Dialect further emerges mirative mood, as well as pursuit questioning, confrontational challenging, admonition, suggestion, and directive functions, with certain functions exhibiting a higher degree of conventionalization.

Key words
