| Research Abstract |
A major task of this research project was to collect and compile a corpus of natural conversation data in the Hokkaido dialect of Japanese. An investigation of the corpus data and other databases revealed some dialectal characteristics of the meaning/function of the conjunction sosite and also some dialectally marked differences between the causative markers -raseru and -saseru. A comparative study of Japanese and English sentence-final conjunctions raised some analytical problems with the final but phenomenon notably observed in Australian and other varieties of English.
