Abstract

This paper shows that the use of the Japanese exhaustive particle dake ‘only’ in a Contrastive-marked sentence results in exhaustification over potential literal acts of assertion in the sense of [1], rather than exhaustification over propositions. Also, the data supports the idea that the exceptive meaning denoted by dake contributes to an expressive level of meaning. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007
