Abstract:

'Like' is a ubiquitous feature of English with a deep history in the language,
exhibiting regular and constrained variable grammars over time. This volume
explores the various contexts of 'like', each of which contributes to the
reality of contemporary vernaculars: its historical context, its developmental
context, its social context, and its ideological context. The final chapter
examines the ways in which these contexts overlap and inform current
understanding of acquisition, structure, change, and embedding. The volume
also features an extensive appendix, containing numerous examples of 'like' in
its pragmatic functions from a range of English corpora, both diachronic and
synchronic. The volume will be of interest to students and scholars of English
historical linguistics, grammaticalization, language variation and change,
discourse-pragmatics and the interface of these fields with formal linguistic
theory.
