Investigating Non-Sentential Utterances in a Spoken Chinese Corpus
Résumé
This paper describes a preliminary investigation into Chinese non-sentential utterances (NSUs) in a corpus of spoken Mandarin. It presents, with examples, a corpus-based taxonomy of Chinese NSUs. This taxonomy builds on the one by Fernández and Ginzburg for English NSUs in the British National Corpus (BNC) [1]. Partly due to the distinctiveness of spoken Chinese, eight new classes are added and their reasons for addition are explained. The paper concludes with discussions for future work.
