Marathi Utterance-Final Particles #

@cite{deo-2025-bara} @cite{deo-2023}

Lexical entries for Marathi utterance-final discourse particles. The semantic/pragmatic content lives in Phenomena/SentenceMood/Studies/Deo2025.lean; this file just packages the basic morphological + clause-type-distribution data.

A Marathi utterance-final particle entry, with the clause types and illocutionary acts it is felicitous in.

Boolean-valued lookup fields would be the lower-tech encoding; Prop lets the felicity facts plug directly into proofs without a decide translation.

  • form : String

    Surface form (in IPA-ish romanization).

  • gloss : String

    Standard gloss.

  • inDeclaratives : Prop

    Felicitous in declaratives.

  • inImperatives : Prop

    Felicitous in imperatives.

  • inWhInterrogatives : Prop

    Felicitous in wh-interrogatives.

  • inPolarInterrogatives : Prop

    Felicitous in polar interrogatives. @cite{deo-2025-bara} reports bərə is never used in polar interrogatives (§ 1, p. 387).

  • carriesPreferentialCommitment : Prop

    The particle conventionally signals a preferential commitment dimension on top of the clause-type-determined commitment. bərə does (@cite{deo-2025-bara} (20)); pure clause-typing particles like ka (polar Q) do not.

Instances For

    bərə — utterance-final particle that conventionally signals the speaker's preference that the addressee take on the prejacent as a dependent doxastic or preferential commitment, with a felicity condition tying this uptake to a salient addressee-benefiting goal.

    @cite{deo-2025-bara} (20)–(21). The semantic/pragmatic apparatus lives in Phenomena/SentenceMood/Studies/Deo2025.lean.

    Instances For

      na — utterance-final particle analyzed in @cite{deo-2023} as signalling preference for independent shared commitment (CG update; doxastic sourcehood mirror of bərə's dependent-uptake convention).

      Stub entry — full lexical/semantic apparatus deferred to a future Phenomena/SentenceMood/Studies/Deo2023.lean. The clause-type distribution fields are placeholders; @cite{deo-2025-bara} footnote 6 (p. 392) only attests na as one of the four imperative-augmenting particles (na, hã/h̆ə, ki, bərə); the declarative/interrogative pattern is unverified pending the @cite{deo-2023} formalization. carriesPreferentialCommitment := false reflects @cite{deo-2023}'s framing as a doxastic (CG-update) particle, not preferential.
