浅谈「そうなんです」———从受话人“期待感”的角度探讨

Discussing bout "そうなんです": From the Angle of He-arer's Expectations

谈到「そうなんです」就不得不想到「そうです」,这两个应答表现在日语会话中经常出现,但是关于二者的区别其相关论述并不多见,从表面上看前者只是比后者多了「のだ」这一语法功能,但实际上「そうなんです」除了具备上述功能外,还与受话人的"心理活动"有关,这里"心理活动"指的是受话人对说话人所说事件的"期待感"。那么「そうなんです」在会话中是如何体现受话人的"期待感"呢?「そうなんです」它在会话中发挥怎样的功能呢?下面从话语分析的角度与「そうです」进行对照,以期对「そうなんです」的理解有帮助。

Talking of＂そうなんです＂will brin＂gそうです＂to mind.These two replying expressions often appear in Japanese dialogues.Nevertheless there are few essays talking about their differences.It seems that the former has a grammatical function of＂のだ＂while the latter doesn＇t,but actually＂そうなんです＂ is also related with hearer＇s psychological actvitise.This psycho-logical actvity refers to the hearer＇s expectations to the mentioned event.How could ＂ そうなんです ＂reflect the hearer＇s expectations then？ Does this expectation have anything to do with the theme of the dialogue？ Based on a large number of factual materials and by means of discourse analysis,this essay compares＂そうなんです＂with＂そうです＂to help learners better understand＂そうなんです＂.
