Pragmatic Rules to the Desiderative Questions in Japanese Learning and Teaching

Xin-ping ZHOU

Abstract


A careful literature review finds that the Desiderative Questions in Japanese should follow certain pragmatic rules due to their concerning with privacy issue. However, a survey to a group of Japanese textbooks also reveals that this finding has not being reflected in those textbooks widely used by Japanese majors in China. Reconsideration should be paid to such a tendency of neglecting pragmatic rules while teaching grammatical items.
Key words: the Desiderative Questions, pragmatic, Japanese teaching
Résumé: L’essai présent, après l’étude de massives récherches autérieures, trouve que l’interrogation de désir dans le japonais subit certaines restrictions dans la pratique parce qu’elle touche les secrets de l’interlocuteur. Cependant, les résultats de recherche ne figurent point dans les manuels en vigueur. Il existe dans les matériaux actuels une tendance qui consiste à privilégier la grammarie au détriment de la pragmatique.
Mots-clés: interrogation de désir, pragmatique, enseignement du japonais
摘要:論文考察了大量先行研究,發現由於涉及到對方的私人領域,日語的願望疑問句在實際使用上存在特定的語用制約。而考察現行的一些教科書發現,這些研究結果絲毫未在教科書中得到反映,現行教材普遍存在一種重語法輕語用的傾向。
關鍵詞:願望疑問句;語用;日語教學
