Discourse Constructions in English : Meaning, Form, and Hierarchies, Paperback / softback Book

Discourse Constructions in English : Meaning, Form, and Hierarchies Paperback / softback

Part of the Yearbook of Corpus Linguistics and Pragmatics series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book emphasizes the advantages of examining discourse connectivity from a constructionist perspective and highlights the role of discourse configurations in the construction of meaning.

The research contained advances the field of cognitive classification and categorization of discourse constructions.

The text is a great improvement in the discourse analysis literature, since it uniquely clarifies the subtleties of meaning between different discourse markers that are frequently treated as equivalent by lexicographers.

It is unique in being the first contribution to the creation of a Constructicon at the discourse level and it fills an important gap within cognitively oriented constructionist accounts that have mostly restricted their analyses to argument-structure and illocutionary constructions.

This yearbook appeals to students and researchers working within corpus linguistics.
