Summary
This chapter provides an overview of scholarship on Chinese sentence-final particles (SFPs) from sociolinguistic and discourse perspectives. The chapter begins with a brief introduction to the typological and areal features associated with SFPs, followed by discussions of studies of this linguistic category in data-based empirical research as well as in descriptive grammars. The goal of the overview is to identify the main strands of theoretical underpinnings as well as to outline the major methodological approaches. The chapter concludes with a discussion of future research directions.
