Pragmatic Functions and Interactive Subjectivity of the Response"Hai hao"
In the dialogue structure,the initiator and the affirmative response"hai hao"constitute a question-answer relationship.After clarifying that the typical pragmatic function of"hai hao"is"agreement,"this paper further refines its various functions in specific contexts,such as positive response,negative response,and discourse cohesion,which are constrained by pragmatic principles of politeness and contextual adaptation.Due to the gradual evolution of the form and meaning of"hai hao",coupled with multiple factors such as idiomatization,pragmatization,subjectivization,and interactive subjectivization,it has a certain tendency of lexicalization,and its discourse marker identity has been highlighted.
