Análise do Morfema “WA” da língua japonesa do ponto de vista pragmático-discursivo

摘要

The aim of our analysis about the grammatical particle wa of the Japanese Language is to prove from the pragmatic-discursive point of view that the wa is not only a particle that indicates informational quantity and quality，but also a particle that is lexicogrammatically represented, reflecting both a (pre-)supposition/assumption about the knowledge or information of interlocutors (i.e., the mental state in a narrow sense), and their intentionality or strategies used by those interlocutors in a given discourse situation (i.e., the mental state in a wide sense).
