DISCOURS Digest - 11 Nov 2000 to 17 Nov 2000 (#2000-108)

Sun Nov 19 09:12:29 UTC 2000

Maybe Maria means this article:

Dailey-O'Cain, J. 2000. The Sociolinguistic Distribution of and
Attitudes Toward Focuser 'Like' and Quotative 'Like'. In: Journal of
Sociolinguistics, 4, 1. 60-80.

And one more reference:

Andersen, G. 1997. "They gave us these yeah, and they like wanna see
like how we talk and all that. The use of like and other pragmatic
markers in London teenage speech", in: Kotsinas, U.-B., Stenstrom
A.-B., Karlsson A.-M. (eds.), Ungdomssprak i Norden: Foredrag fran ett
forskarsymposium, MINS (Meddelanden fran Institutionen for nordiska
sprak), 43, Stockholm University, 82-95.

There's an article on 'like' in a recent volume of the Journal of
Sociolinguistics. I don't have it to hand right now, as I am checking my
email from home, but am happy to send on the reference when I am back in my
office if you can't locate it.
