Beschreibung

Discourse-pragmatic markers are central to everyday language, yet many aspects of their use and functions remain elusive or under-investigated. Bringing together a global team of leading scholars, this volume presents a representative showcase of work currently being conducted in the field of discourse-pragmatic variation and change, including investigations of features such as uh/um, please, sentence-final is all, and discourse-pragmatic features from a number of languages. The book emphasizes that not only have researchers answered the call to address complex issues such as cross-linguistic reliability, extending research across languages, and expanding and improving on methods and analysis, but that they continue to address perennial questions in the field of language variation and change. With sections on theoretical and methodological issues, innovative variables, and language contact situations, the volume offers a robust overview of best practices for both new and experienced researchers.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'... a top-tier resource book ... the theoretical and methodological innovations utilized in this trailblazing volume add significantly to the concept of discourse markers. In addition, praise goes to the high quality of the print, which makes perusing this work an enjoyable activity.' Journal of Pragmatics 'I would definitely recommend this volume, since in most of the studies the analysis of discourse variation and change is not limited to the simple description of data but goes beyond that by contrasting findings obtained through different complementary methods and tools, and by moving from empirical evidence to linguistic theory. The book, then, is a valuable contribution to research into discourse-pragmatic variation and change in the many facets of the field; indeed, some of the chapters might well be seen as models of rigour and academic professionalism for junior scholars.' Ignacio M. Palacios Martinez, Corpus Pragmatics '[This] volume contributes substantially to the growing field of discourse-pragmatic variation and change in spoken language. It will serve as an essential foundation for further studies.' Elizabeth Closs Traugott, Language
