Crosslinguistic paths of pragmatic development
Diachronic studies of discourse markers suggest they follow a unidirectional developmental path, from propositional to textual and expressive uses. The present study tests whether children acquire the propositional (literal) before the expressive (pragmatic) functions of two adversative discourse markers in French and English, which have similar core meanings and pragmatic functions. Our results partially confirm the propositional-first hypothesi…

Can filled pauses be represented as linguistic items? Investigating the effect of exposure on the perception and production of um
The current paper presents three studies that investigated the effect of exposure on the mental representations of filled pauses ( um/uh). In Study 1, a corpus analysis identified the frequency of co-occurrence of filled pauses with words located immediately before or after them in naturalistic spoken adult British English (BNC2014). Based on the collocations identified in Study 1, in Study 2, 22 native British English-speaking adults heard sente…
Each p[ɚ]son does it th[εː] way
This paper examines individual differences in constraints on linguistic variation in light of Labov's (2007) proposal that adult change (diffusion) disrupts systems of constraints and Tamminga, MacKenzie, and Embick's (2016) typology of constraints. It is shown that, in pooling data from multiple speakers, some of the complexity in structured community variation may be overlooked. Data on rhoticity from speakers of Bristol English are compared to…
Introduction
Apologies in French and English
Positioning the Self and Others
Alors/donc/then at the right periphery
This paper compares the functions and development of right peripheral (RP) alors , donc and then in French and English. These items developed historically from temporal expressions, they express consequence and can serve, intersubjectively, as an appeal to the addressee to confirm previous assumptions. An analysis of the frequency and positions of alors , donc , so and then in contemporary spoken corpora of standard British English and French sho…
A politeness-theoretic approach to pragmatico-semantic change
This paper posits that certain “qualificatory” semantic primes are recruited to serve face-management needs in a metonymic Meaning1>Meaning2 relationship at what Traugott and Dasher (2002) have called the intersubjective, non-truth-conditional, procedural, scope-over-discourse end of the trajectory of pragmatico-semantic change. Terms expressing smallness, approximativeness, demurral/correction, adversativeness/concession and interrogation are a…
Politeness markers in French
Post-posed quoi is traditionally stigmatized as a meaningless filler or “tic” and considered inappropriate in formal or polite speech. The usefulness of “small words” in smoothing social interaction has more recently been recognized, at least as far as English is concerned (see, for example, Hasselgren 2002), and this article aims to explore the extent to which “quoi” is employed in workplace contexts in France. Interviews in shops, Tourist Offic…
Special issue of the Journal of Politeness
Introduction The papers in this special issue of the Journal of Politeness Research arose from a workshop which took place at the University of the West of England, Bristol, in February 2003 entitled ‘Politeness and (business) communication across national borders’. The aim of the workshop was to draw together researchers on politeness in business contexts or in the workplace working mainly on British English with others working on politeness in …
Sociolinguistics
Politeness-induced semantic change
This article contributes to a growing body of theory that posits language-external, social factors as a primary motor in diachronic change. Politeness theory and the use of variationist approaches enable us to posit, and test, the hypothesis of a type of pragmaticalization, which I call Politeness-Induced Semantic Change (PISC). Historical data on quand même are presented that give tentative credence to such a model. Moeschler and de Spengler's (…
Pragmatic particles - polite but powerless? Tone-group terminal hein and quoi in contemporary spoken French
With their P and D categories, Brown and Levinson (1987) suggest that the 'weight' of the linguistic formulation of politeness is associated with social hierarchies, at least where FTAs are concerned. Kasper (1990) distinguishes between two trends in the conceptualisation of politeness: politeness as strategic conflict-avoidance and politeness as social indexing. Eelen (2001) builds on Sell's (1992) notion that politeness theorising should not co…
French for Specific Purposes
This paper argues that the increasing number of non-specialist students of French in British universities requires us to investigate with some urgency the adequacy of ‘general purpose’ syllabi, grammars, and methodologies Drawing on the work of researchers of ESP, of corpus-based approaches, of autonomous learning, and of the exploitation of authentic text, the paper illustrates its thesis by reference to the detailed analysis of a small corpus o…
