Given their high frequency and communicative importance, these elements can, however, no longer be dismissed as a marginal linguistic phenomenon. In recent years this awareness has resulted not only in more systematic treatments of extra-clausal constituents, but has also highlighted the need to account for them in grammatical theory. Based on (mainly English) corpus data, the volume investigates the discourse-pragmatic, semantic, syntactic and phonological features of a range of extra-clausal constituents, including discourse markers, free adjuncts, left dislocands, insubordinate clauses and various kinds of adverbials. The individual chapters adopt a number of different perspectives, investigating the diachronic development of extra-clausal constituents, their multi-functionality and their use in bilingual settings, also addressing the question of how they can be incorporated into existing models of grammar. 178 10 3 2016 9 12 2016 9789027259431 9789027266552 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam 10.1075/slcs.178 http://www.jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027266552 https://www.jbe-platform.com/deliver/fulltext/9789027266552.pdf https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/slcs.178/html Arne Lohmann University of Vienna https://ror.org/03prydq77 Christian Koops University of New Mexico https://ror.org/05fs6jp91 Empirical challenges and theoretical implications In research on Discourse Markers (DMs) it has long been noted that DMs frequently occur in sequences, e.g., oh well or you know I mean . Despite the ubiquity of this phenomenon and occasional citations of examples in studies on individual DMs, the combinatory behavior of DMs has received only limited attention as a theoretically relevant phenomenon in its own right. This chapter provides an overview of the phenomenon that synthesizes the results of prior research, complemented with new analyses of our own. We separately address two different aspects of DM sequencing. The first is the question of co-occurrence of DMs , that is, which DMs combine frequently with one another. The second aspect concerns the ordering of DMs when occurring in sequence. In discussing the results of empirical studies of both of these aspects we outline what research on DMs and the structure of the clause periphery stands to gain from studying DM sequences. 10 3 2016 9 12 2016 417 446 10.1075/slcs.178.14loh https://benjamins.com/catalog/slcs.178.14loh https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/slcs.178.14loh/html 10.1075/scl.10 Nordic Journal of English Studies Aijmer 3 1 173 2004 10.35360/njes.29 Pragmatic markers in spoken interlanguage 10.1075/ijcl.16.2.04aij 10.1075/pbns.84 10.1075/prag.6.3.03aue 10.1515/9783110925364.335 Linguistics in Context: Lectures from the 1985 LSA/TESOL and NEH Institutes Becker 17 1988 Language in particular: A lecture Von der Form zur Bedeutung: Texte automatisch verarbeiten / From Form to Meaning: Processing Texts Automatically, Proceedings of the Biennial GSCL Conference 2009 Bouma 31 2009 Normalized (pointwise) mutual information in collocation extraction 10.2307/346098 Fisher English Training Speech, Part 1: Transcripts Cieri 2004 Fisher English Training Speech, Part 1: Speech Cieri 2004 Fisher English Training Speech, Part 2: Transcripts Cieri 2005 Fisher English Training Speech, Part 2: Speech Cieri 2005 10.1016/S0167-6393(01)00022-X 10.1016/j.pragma.2008.08.010 10.1007/978-3-642-69103-4 D'Arcy , Alexandra Faith . 2005 .
