Modal Particles in German
Research on German modal particles (MPs) has long noted their tendency to occur in combination with one another. Prior studies have investigated this phenomenon relying mostly on qualitative and introspective methods. The present article demonstrates the benefits of employing quantitative methods to investigate MP combinations. In a corpus-linguistic study of spoken German, we address the question of ordering tendencies within these sequences, as…

Vowel Variation in Albuquerque, New Mexico
Research Article| December 01 2017 Vowel Variation in Albuquerque, New Mexico Susan Brumbaugh; Susan Brumbaugh susan brumbaugh is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Linguistics at the University of New Mexico. Her work focuses on sociophonetic variation throughout New Mexico, with her primary interest being Chicano English vowels and the Burqueño dialect found in and around Albuquerque. She works in the Global Education Office at the Universi…
A quantitative approach to the grammaticalization of discourse markers
This article takes a quantitative approach to the grammar of English two-part discourse marker sequences like oh well , you know I mean , etc. We investigate the internal ordering preferences of such sequences in spoken American English corpus data from the perspective of grammaticalization. From this perspective, the development of many discourse markers can be understood as involving a process of increasing syntactic de-categorialization (Hoppe…
Spanish-English bilingual voice onset time in spontaneous code-switching
In this study, we test the hypothesis that code-switching leads to phonological convergence by examining voice onset time (VOT) realization in the spontaneous code-switched speech of New Mexican Spanish-English bilinguals. We find that average VOT duration values in New Mexican Spanish fall within the range typical of non-contact varieties of the language, while New Mexican English displays VOT values in the low range of typical non-contact Engli…
Phonotactic constraints and sub-syllabic structure
Of late, a controversy has arisen over the internal structure of Korean syllables. While there is general agreement that non-phonotactic criteria argue for left-branching, Lee & Goldrick's (2008) left-branching phonotactic analysis is contradicted by Berg & Koops's (2010) claim as to a phonotactically symmetrical syllable structure. A comparison of the methodologies of the two studies, a revisit of the previous data and a new analysis cement the …
Discourse Marker Sequencing and Grammaticalization
In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt:This paper deals with the grammatical properties of discourse markers (DMs), specifically their ordering preferences relative to one another. While the data presented here are synchronic, we approach the topic of DM sequencing from the perspective of grammaticalization. From this perspective, DMs can be understood as the result of a process in which elements serving other functions, for example gram…
The interplay of left- and right-branching effects
A quantitative approach to the development of complex predicates
This paper traces the historical development of the Swedish Pseudo-Coordination construction with the posture verb sitta “sit”. In Swedish a small number of verbs, including posture verbs such as sitta , are used in coordination with another verb to convey that the described event has an extended duration or is in progress. Quantitative evidence from Swedish historical corpora suggests that the construction has, even after it established itself a…
