(un)politeness, Japanese language, personal pronounsAbstract
Based on the methodology of analysis of the Linguistic Historiography proposed by Koerner (1989) and Swiggers (2005[2004]), the objective of this work is to analyze the treatment of the personal pronouns of 1st person in the main Japanese Language grammars written by foreigners in the nineteenth century, and also investigate how the (un)politeness was approached. Along with the analysis of the social context, we present the linguistic changes corresponding to the personal pronouns and continuity and discontinuity movements observed in relation to “techniques of analysis and data presentation methods” (SWIGGERS, 2005[2004]) used in the primary sources under study.Downloads
