On Genre as the Primary Unit of Language (Not Only) in Law
Taking as points of departure modern pragmatic theory and the information-theoretic view of communication offered by Levinson, this paper re-defines the notion of "genre" as a primarily top-down functioning kind of pre-existing, conventionalized package deal in construing meaning. As a consequence, this paper argues for relativizing the role of code (langue), given information in favor of pre-existing pragmatic-functional knowledge in "making mea…
Towards a Standard English
Chat and conversation
The rise of the new digital medium raises the question to what extent the old genres or text types exist across medial boundaries. While it is clear that there are new genres in Internet-based communication like MUDS or newsgroups, it is less clear if there is continuity between traditional spoken and written genres. This article explores the question for what is arguably the most basic of all genres, spoken conversation and the closest possible …

The Virtues of Language
Historical Linguistics 1997
Subjectivity and Subjectivisation
The notion of subjectivity explored here concerns expression of self and the representation of a speaker's perspective or point of view in discourse. Subjectivization involves the structures and strategies that languages evolve in the linguistic realization of subjectivity and the relevant processes of linguistic evolution themselves. This volume reflects the growing attention in linguistics and related disciplines commanded by the centrality in …
Internal and External Factors in Syntactic Change
Sentence connexion and global text structures
The paper first gives a brief overview of the history and theoretical status of discourse analysis, or "text linguistics." The main body of the paper consists of a detailed analysis of sentence connexion, i.e. the logical relationship between sentences and larger chunks of text, performed on a newspaper leader article. The results of this local analysis are then related to the global organisation of text structure with components such as macro- a…
Cooperating with Written Texts
Semantic Similarity between Categories as a Vehicle of Linguistic Change
The paper discusses three instances of linguistic change from the history of English which seem to involve semantic similarity between linguistic categories in the pattern of internal evolution. One case concerns the generalization of a personal ending within the same person category across number categories. The second one deals with the transfer of a syntactic strategy from one person category to a semantically similar one, also involving the s…
