Marathi Utterance-Final Particles

[Deo25] [Deo23]

Utterance-final Marathi discourse particles as Particle values. The commitment semantics (dependent vs independent uptake) is analytical and lives in Studies/Deo2025.lean.

def Marathi.Particles.bara : Particle

bərə — utterance-final particle combining with declaratives, imperatives, and wh-interrogatives, never polar interrogatives ([Deo25] §1). Conventionally signals that the speaker requests dependent doxastic or preferential commitment uptake tied to an addressee-benefiting goal ([Deo25] (20)–(21)); the apparatus and the preferential-vs-doxastic classification live in Studies/Deo2025.lean.

def Marathi.Particles.na : Particle

na — utterance-final particle analyzed in [Deo23] as signalling preference for independent shared commitment (the doxastic mirror of bərə). Only the imperative-augmenting use is attested in [Deo25] (fn. 6, p. 392); other cells are unrecorded pending a [Deo23] formalization.

Equations

• Marathi.Particles.na = { form := "na", position := Particle.Position.clauseFinal, distribution := some { imperative := some ParticleStatus.optional } }

def Marathi.Particles.allParticles : List Particle
