[Invited Talk] How and why "Personal Pronouns" in East Asian Languages are different from European languages -- Ba-based Approach --
Sachiko Ide (JWU) TL2016-58
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) While the use of personal pronouns used according to power and solidarity in European languages is well known (Brown and Gilman 1961), there has been little discussion about the rich varieties of personal pronouns and their use in East Asian languages. The difference between the use of personal pronouns in European languages and those of East Asian languages seems to be fundamental to the use of language. In this presentation, I would like to explore the mechanism of the complex use of multiple East Asian pronouns. The difference is so fundamental that a new frame of thinking called ba-based thinking has to be introduced to cope with this issue.
One of the assumptions of ba-based thinking is dual mode thinking, where the self is seen as consisting of two layers of domain: the domain of the self-centered ego and the domain of place. The domains of places merge like two egg whites merge in a bowl, while domains of self-centered egos remain separated. Speakers of languages with varieties of personal pronouns choose the pronoun appropriate to an interactional setting by negotiating with other participants who share the domain of place. It will be argued that the concept of self in modern scientific thinking that began with de Carte’s cogito is not sufficient to explain the mechanism of the use of the rich personal pronouns in East Asian languages.
