Abstract:
Fundamental to oral fluency, pragmatic markers facilitate the flow of
spontaneous, interactional and social conversation. Variously termed 'hedges',
'fumbles' and 'conversational greasers' in earlier academic studies, this book
explores the meaning, function and role of 'well', 'I mean', 'just', 'sort
of', 'like' and 'you know' in British English. Adopting a sociolinguistic and
historical perspective, Beeching investigates how these six commonly occurring
pragmatic markers are used and the ways in which their current meanings and
functions have evolved. Informed by empirical data from a wide range of
contemporary and historical sources, including a small corpus of spoken
English collected in 2011–14, the British National Corpus and the Old Bailey
Corpus, Pragmatic Markers in British English contributes to debates about
language variation and change, incrementation in adolescence and
grammaticalisation and pragmaticalisation. It will be fascinating reading for
researchers and students in linguistics and English, as well as
non-specialists intrigued by this speech phenomenon.
