Abstract:

This book offers new perspectives into the description of the form, meaning
and function of Pragmatic Markers, Discourse Markers and Modal Particles in a
number of different languages, along with new methods for identifying their
‘prototypical’ instances in situated language contexts, often based on
cross-linguistic comparisons. The papers collected in this volume also discuss
different factors at play in processes of grammaticalization and
pragmaticalization, which include contact-induced change and pragmatic
borrowing, socio-interactional functional pressures and sociopragmatic
indexicalities, constraints of cognitive processing, together with
regularities in semantic change. Putting the traditional issues concerning the
status, delimitation and categorization of Pragmatic Markers, Discourse
Markers and Modal Particles somewhat off the stage, the eighteen articles
collected in this volume deal instead with general questions concerning the
development and use of such procedural elements, explored from different
approaches, both formal and functional, and from a variety of perspectives –
including corpus-based, sociolinguistic, and contrastive perspectives – and
offering language-specific synchronic and diachronic studies.
