| Details | This paper investigates which aspects of human-object interaction are linguistically encoded by the public and private selves, based on Hirose's (1995, 2000) proposal that the speaker has two distinct aspects, referred to as the 'public self' and the 'private self'. Specifically, after overviewing Ishida and Naya's (2018) contrastive analysis of the language of public signs, including maps, signboards, and traffic signs in Japanese and English, we further employ Gibson's (1979) Affordance Theory and explore our hypothesis that the public self tends to encode aspects of the environment's capability to support a particular activity for a perceiver (i.e. affordance); in contrast, the private self tends to encode aspects of a perceiver's capability to perform that activity (i.e. effectivity) (cf. Turvey (1992:179)).
