    Social Meaning in Virtual Space: Sentence-final expressions in the Japanese popular mediascape DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Hannah Elizabeth Dahlberg-Dodd, M.A. Graduate Program in East Asian Languages and Literatures The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee Charles Quinn, Advisor Mineharu Nakayama Anna Babel Mie Hiramoto Copyright by Hannah Elizabeth Dahlberg-Dodd 2019 Abstract Often cited as one of the most salient indices of sociocultural meaning, “sentence-final expressions” (bunmatsu hyōgen) have long been a subject of analysis in Japanese linguistics. These units are a kind of what Bolinger and Sear (1981) more broadly refer to as an “audible gesture,” or a linguistic unit that conveys paralinguistic meanings, i.e. meaning that includes neither denotational nor propositional content. Named for their frequent and typical appearance at the end of utterances, in Japanese an immense number are deployed to a wide variety of sociocultural ends. Because of the large number of available expressions, however, previous research has struggled to develop a method of sociolinguistic analysis that is capable of capturing their multivalent nature. This is a difficulty that has been compounded by an array of different degrees of use, resulting in highly skewed levels of academic attention being given to certain expressions and nearly none to others. In this dissertation, I explore alternate means of addressing
