Metapragmatic Awareness
Metapragmatic awareness is concerned with the human ability to reflect on pragmatic aspects of language use and, on a practical level, with the study of features of language that seem to be indicative of that reflexivity.
Associative plural marking in English varieties
We normally think of ‘plural’ in English in terms of reference to more than one, as in the use of the word dogs to refer to more than one dog . This is described as the ‘ordinary’ or ‘additive’ plural, which has referential homogeneity in the sense that every member of the group referenced by dogs is a dog . In contrast, there is another type of plural which is used for human groups and has referential heterogeneity, that is, each member of the r…
The English general extender
In the Longman Grammar of Spoken and Written English (Biber et al., 1999), a new category is identified in the grammar of the English phrase. In conversational data, the most frequent forms cited as examples of this category are or something , and everything , and things and and stuff , which are described as ‘coordination tags’ by Biber et al. (1999: 115–16). This label has not been widely adopted, but the linguistic category it describes has cl…

The role of pragmatic function in the grammaticalization of English general extenders
In a number of recent studies, developments in the structure of English general extenders (e.g. and stuff (like that) , or something (like that) ) have been investigated from the perspective of grammaticalization. These developments have mostly been described in terms of formal changes as a result of processes identified as morphosyntactic reanalysis, phonological attrition and decategorialization. In this study, I first describe the impact of th…

Locally contingent categorization in discourse
Most investigations into the nature of categories have been concerned with lexicalized categories—that is, those that are encoded as a single, lexical item (bird, furniture). This study investigates the creation and interpretation of nonlexicalized categories within discourse, as indicated by the use of general extenders (Do they have good restaurants and stuff. He didn't howl or anything). Such categories are locally contingent, depend on contex…
