Previous studies interpreting the meanings of the sentence-final particle “LE” displayed two trends: either excessively complicated or excessively general. Since some scholars established a theoretical foundation of propositional domain, epistemic domain and dialogic domain for the sentence-final particle “LE”, the nature or orientation of its semantic property has become more clear. However, there are also defects in the current “Three Domains” research model. In the first place, this model defines the meanings of the sentence-final particle “LE” as “emergence of new propositional content”, “emergence of new epistemic content”, and “emergence of new dialogic content”. But, the definition is excessively abstract and extensive. As many sentences not concluded with the particle “LE” can also express the three mentioned meanings, it fails to explain the difference between sentences ended with particle “LE” and ones without it. Secondly, the model fails to explore and discuss the nature or generation mechanism of relevant meanings of the particle “LE”. This study attempts to find a practical solution to those defects.
