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
bərəis 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.
bərədoes (@cite{deo-2025-bara} (20)); pure clause-typing particles likeka(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.
