Abstract:

A basic property of human language is that it unfolds in time; the left and
right margin of discourse units do not behave in a symmetrical fashion. The
working hypothesis of this volume is that discourse elements at the left
periphery have mainly subjective and discourse-structuring functions, whereas
at the right periphery, such elements play an intersubjective or modalising
role. However, the picture that emerges from the different contributions to
this volume is far more complex. While it seems clear that the working
hypothesis cannot be upheld in a “strong” way, most of the chapters –
especially those based on corpus data – show that an asymmetry between left
and right periphery does exist and that it is a matter of frequency.
