Abstract:

This book brings together corpus linguistics and pragmatics by
extending the emerging corpus analytic framework of local grammar to
speech act research, aiming to enrich the toolkit of corpus-based
speech act studies. It outlines four directions in which local grammar
can be useful for investigating speech acts, namely, a local grammar
approach to annotating speech acts, developing local grammars of
speech acts, identifying speech act constructions via the lens of
local grammars, and applying local grammars into contrastive speech
act studies. These directions are illustrated with studies on apology
in contemporary spoken British English, which shows that local grammar
can be an innovative approach to advance speech act studies and that
such research has significant implications and applications. The book
should be of interest to researchers and students in corpus
linguistics, pragmatics, construction grammar, and L2 speech act
research and teaching.
