Sa du sa? : en studie om kvinnors användande av partikeln sa i verklighet och rollspråk
Author
Summary, in English
This thesis examines different usages of the particle sa, mostly in sentence-final position, as an interjection and as an interjectional particle, and discusses how it is used by women. The methodology was done by interview with three female informants in the ages 20 to 21. The thesis arguments that there are substantial differences between how sa is used by women and men, and in female roll-language and genuine speech. Since the characters in manga or children’s-books usually are built more or less upon stereotypes, the frequency of the particle sa in female use becomes very low. But the particle sa is not a strong male particle since it’s used both by men and women in sentence-final position, as an interjectional particle and as an interjection.
