ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to examine thoroughly the meaning of -tte particle that used in Japanese informal conversations. -tte is a contraction form commonly used in informal conversational discourse in order to express hearsay (denbun) and quotation (inyou), which also known as sou da and to iu. To support the understanding the context of conversational discourse comprehensively, we will comprehend prior –tte studies from Moritoki (1994), Hui (1999) also Maruyama (2002). This study used a descriptive method and collected data from 15 conversations on Corpus of Everyday Japanese Conversation (version 2022.03). The result showed that the meaning of the –tte particle at the end of the sentences could have been functioned as hearsay, quotation, and question, in way to indicate speaker’s surprises, emphasize strong judgement, correct one’s statement, indicate indirective imperative form and indicate disagreement by questioning one’s statement.
