Chapter 6 Conclusion
6.2 Contribution and Future Directions
The main contribution of this study is to provide a new and clear perspective of explaining how and why kinship terms are generalized in Taiwan Mandarin, with the perspective of cognitive linguistics. Many forerunners have long discussed the issue this study focuses, and fruitful results were presented. Our approach, however, suggests a remarkable direction of linguistic research for this issue.
Meanwhile, due to the scope of this study, several topics did not explore in this work, and they are listed as follows for future researchers:
1. Experimental and quantitative research: the current thesis focuses on qualitative analyses of the collected data; this may not provide a holistic view of the generalized use of kinship terms. If experimental and quantitative methods (e.g., questionnaires about the usage of generalized kinship terms) could be performed, more interesting phenomena might be found and further answer the question regarding whether there is a prototypical kinship term. It is also possible to confirm the default generalized kinship term.
2. Research of sociolinguistic issues: current work did not deal with issues such as whether language users of different gender adopt distinct generalized kinship terms under the same context? Do native speakers of separate social class prefer different generalized kinship terms? Do people profile metonymic themes with viewpoints vary to a great degree, because of their gender, age, and social class? Instead, how do speakers of different gender, age, and social class address themselves/others with generalized kinship terms? Some patterns might be found by employing related research.
3. Research of ironical usage: another issue this study do not further elaborate is the ironical usage in generalizing kinship terms. It is observed some speakers tend to adopt generalized kinship terms to describe inanimate objects or objects that are not welcomed, and the attitude of speakers address ‘loser’ to themselves or others.
Similar cases could be examined in the region of ironical research, we believe the results will be worthy of attention.
4. Cross-linguistic comparison: the analytic model of this thesis could apply to the studies of cross-linguistic comparison, such as comparison between Chinese dialects (e.g., Taiwan Southern Min and Taiwan Mandarin, Taiwan Southern Min and Hakka, Wu and Cantonese, and so on) or comparison between different languages (e.g., Mandarin and Vietnamese, Mandarin and Japanese, Mandarin and Korean, etc.) The results might contribute some inspirations to linguistic typology.
