Abstract:

Discourse-pragmatic markers are central to everyday language, yet many aspects
of their use and functions remain elusive or under-investigated. Bringing
together a global team of leading scholars, this volume presents a
representative showcase of work currently being conducted in the field of
discourse-pragmatic variation and change, including investigations of features
such as uh/um, please, sentence-final is all, and discourse-pragmatic features
from a number of languages. The book emphasizes that not only have researchers
answered the call to address complex issues such as cross-linguistic
reliability, extending research across languages, and expanding and improving
on methods and analysis, but that they continue to address perennial questions
in the field of language variation and change. With sections on theoretical
and methodological issues, innovative variables, and language contact
situations, the volume offers a robust overview of best practices for both new
and experienced researchers.
