Through the recipes and fictional stories published in the iconic magazine of the time, The Australian Women’s Weekly, it is possible to trace the early history of both referential and cultural meanings of pizza. Recipes elaborated the refere…

  • Mandarin chī ‘eat’ sentences in elicitation and corpus data

    Open AccessJohn Newman, Zhao DanARTICLEChinese Language and Discourse An…2023

    When collected methodically through elicitation experiments, invented examples prompted by a cue word provide evidence for how speakers think about that word. This study explores characteristics of Mandarin chī ‘eat’ sentences obtained through an elicitation experiment and SMS, newspaper, and fiction corpora. Our findings support the view that invented examples collected methodically represent a valuable data type with its own characteristics wor…

    The use of High Rising Terminal intonation contours (HRTs) in statements is a particularly salient and often stigmatized feature of a number of varieties of English. In recent years a number of linguists have investigated the feature from pragmatic (ching 1982, Meyerhoff 1991) and sociolinguistic (Guy, Horvath, Vonwiller, Diasley and Rogers 1986, Allen 1990, Britain 1992) perspectives and its use has also stimulated long running debates in the pr…
