This research studies the cognitive and discourse bases of linguistic structures both from a theoretical and methodological perspective. It, especially, examines the discourse and grammatical functions of English particles that emerges in usage with data from a large corpus. In the methodological point, this research attempts to merge a qualitative method, based on the comparison between antonyms, and a quantitative method, based on the coding of various factors, and then, provides a concrete method for various linguistic approaches.
