Abstract:

This monograph deals with variable tag questions. These are utterances with a
variable interrogative tag, like "It's peculiar writing, isn't it", and the
semi-variable tag "innit", such as "Nice, innit". The aim is to provide a
corpus-based, comprehensive semantic-pragmatic typology of British English tag
questions. Compared to existing descriptions, the proposed typology is novel
in three ways. Firstly, whereas almost all existing typologies are
single-layered classifications, the functions of tag questions are categorized
into two parallel dimensions of interpersonal meaning: the speech function and
the stance layer. Secondly, semantic generalizations are proposed for clusters
of grammatical, intonational and conversational properties. Thirdly, the
bottom-up description is based on a sizeable amount of authentic, spontaneous
conversations, which are analysed both qualitatively and quantitatively.
