An Immediate Grammar Analysis of "...te, hai," as a Chain-Maintenance Device in Japanese

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This short paper analyzes the Japanese expression “…te, hai,” as a chain-maintenance device in conversation from the perspective of Immediate Grammar. It shows how action listing with the te-form and the maintenance of an intentionally incomplete ending with hai induce the listener’s next turn.Japanese version: Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18228532
