The Particle Thì in Vietnamese
In: Masters Theses (2021)
Abstract: This thesis examines the functions of the particle thì in Vietnamese. The previous literature mainly describes thì as a phrasal particle; the inter-clausal thì receives one previous description (Clark, 1992a), but the collected data in this thesis revealed that thì is predominantly used sentence-initially. Among 155 collected tokens of thì, 48 (31%) occurs phrasally, 38 (30%) occurs inter-clausally, and 69 (44%) occurs sentence-initially. The phrasal thì is analyzed as a topic and/or contrastive topic marker (Cao, 1991/2004; Clark, 1992a), or “a discourse template marker” (Tran, Forthcoming). The inter-clausal thì is considered “an inchoative conjunction” (Clark, 1992a). A description and an analysis of the sentence-initial thì remain unaddressed. Thus, this thesis furthers the literature on thì by providing a description of the particle and an analysis of its functions, with focus on the sentence-initial thì. The analysis shows that the sentential thì is best treated as a Discourse Marker (DM), in the spirit of Fraser (2009). With adaptations from Fraser’s framework, the category of DMs provides a unified analysis that can dissect the usages of both the inter-clausal and sentence-initial thì. More specifically, the sentential thì is a Contrastive Discourse Marker (CDM), Elaborative Discourse Marker (EDM), and Logical Discourse Marker (LDM) that signals various semantic relationships between surrounding propositions. The CDM thì indicates a contrastive relationship; the EDM thì is subcategorized into Sequential and Non-sequential EDM and conveys additional details; the LDM thì connects three types of logical relationships: Abductive, Inductive, and Deductive. The framework of DMs allows for a systematic understanding of the patterned usages of thì.
