@article{oai:nagoya.repo.nii.ac.jp:00026571, author = {孟, 鷹 and Meng, Ying}, journal = {名古屋大学人文学フォーラム}, month = {Mar}, note = {This paper addresses the use of the Japanese demonstrative determiner kono co-occurring with first-person expressions such as first-person pronouns. Cross linguistically, it is not common for a demonstrative to modify a first-person expression, especially a personal pronoun. For example, in English, the co-occurrence of a demonstrative determiner (i.e., this or that) and a personal pronoun is not acceptable. I argue that kono, when used with first-person expressions, functions as a non-restrictive modifier, just like non-restrictive clauses or non-restrictive adjectives. In other words, kono does not restrict the referent of the head, but instead serves one of the three functions. First, kono can activate specific information about the referent, namely the speaker, from the common experience or knowledge shared by the discourse participants. Second, when the first-person expression is in focus, kono may suggest a contrast between the speaker and other people. Finally, if there is an expectation that none of the discourse participants (particularly the speaker) is involved in the topic under discussion, the speaker can use kono to indicate his or her own involvement.}, pages = {1--14}, title = {一人称表現と共起する「この」について}, volume = {1}, year = {2018} }
