This book examines relations which hold between morphosyntactic form and communicative function in discourse by examining form-function correlations of noninterrogative questions in ordinary English conversation. So-called nontypical declarative and nonclausal questions are identified functionally. The role morphosyntax plays in the production and interpretation of these forms as doing questioning is then considered. Speakers are shown to use specific patterns of morphosyntactic marking to enable recipients to interpret noninterrogatives as functional questions. Explanations for morphosyntactic patterns found in the data are stated in terms of discourse use.

This monograph deals with variable tag questions. These are utterances with a variable interrogative tag, like It's peculiar writing, isn't it, and the semi-variable tag innit, such as Nice, innit. The aim is to provide a corpus-based, comprehensive semantic-pragmatic typology of British English tag questions. Compared to existing descriptions, the proposed typology is novel in three ways. Firstly, whereas almost all existing typologies are single-layered classifications, the functions of tag questions are categorized into two parallel dimensions of interpersonal meaning: the speech function and the stance layer. Secondly, semantic generalizations are proposed for clusters of grammatical, intonational and conversational properties. Thirdly, the bottom-up description is based on a sizeable amount of authentic, spontaneous conversations, which are analysed both qualitatively and quantitatively.

The present volume is a collection of fifteen original articles that include descriptive, typological and/or theoretical studies of a number of morphosyntactic phenomena, such as case, transitivity, grammaticalization, valency alternations, etc., in a variety of languages or language groups, and discussions concerning theoretical issues in specific grammatical frameworks. The collection, written in honor of the Australian linguist Barry J. Blake on his 60th birthday, thematically reflects the field that Professor Blake has worked in over the past three decades. The volume will be of special interest to researchers in morphosyntax, and linguistic typology. In addition, scholars in discourse grammar, historical linguistics, theoretical syntax, semantics, language acquisition, and language contact will find articles of interest in the book.

Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Questionnaires are one of the most frequently used means in marketing research. This thesis has the objective to analyze questionnaires with the main focus on the linguistic description of questions. Whereas a lot of research on questionnaires from a social science perspective and a marketing perspective can be found, linguistic research on questionnaires is rare. The research question of this thesis can be formulated as follows: What are the differences between questionnaires used in personal face-to-face interviews, telephone interviews and self-administered questionnaires and how are these differences reflected in language? Thus, several different questionnaires (cf. corpus) have been analyzed and compared. Following the introduction in chapter one, chapter two of the thesis is dedicated to marketing research. The purpose of surveys is explained as well as the sampling procedure and the pretest. This thesis focuses on primary research. Chapter three explains the symbolic interaction theory for social research. This question-answer model describes the interview situation. Chapter four is dedicated to the three different survey techniques (personal interviews, telephone interviews and self-administered questionnaires). Each of them will be discussed in detail. Chapter five deals with response effects in questionnaires and explains the influence of question words, question form, question structure and question topic on responses. Whereas chapter six focuses on the macrostructure (overall structure) of questionnaires, chapter seven focuses on the mircostructure. Question form (open-ended vs. closed questions), sentence types and sentence form will be discussed as well as wh-interrogatives and the you attitude . In chapter eight a summary of the language differences is provided for each type of questionnaire separately. Finally, in the conclusion in chapter nine, some final remarks on the topic will be made.

This volume is witness to a spirited and fruitful period in the evolution of corpus linguistics. In twenty-two articles written by established corpus linguists, members of the ICAME (International Computer Archive of Modern and Mediaeval English) association, this new volume brings the reader up to date with the cycle of activities which make up this field of study as it is today, dealing with corpus creation, language varieties, diachronic corpus study from the past to present, present-day synchronic corpus study, the web as corpus, and corpus linguistics and grammatical theory. It thus serves as a valuable guide to the state of the art for linguistic researchers, teachers and language learners of all persuasions. After over twenty years of evolution, corpus linguistics has matured, incorporating nowadays not just small, medium and large primary corpus building but also specialised and multi-dimensional secondary corpus building; not just corpus analysis, but also corpus evaluation; not just an initial application of theory, but self-reflection and a new concern with theory in the light of experience. The volume also highlights the growing emphasis on language as a changing phenomenon, both in terms of established historical study and the newer short-range diachronic study of 20th century and current English; and the growing area of overlap between these two. Another section of the volume illustrates the recent changes in the definition of 'corpus' which have come about due to the emergence of new technologies and in particular of the availability of texts on the world wide web. The volume culminates in the contributions by a group of corpus grammarians to a timely and novel discussion panel on the relationship between corpus linguistics and grammatical theory.

If you want to be good at anything, you will have to practice and practice a lot. Also use the space between the questions to add your own questions and answers.FOR English Conversation teachers (TESL): When you are feeling burned out, meaning feeling empty and mentally exhausted, devoid of motivation, and beyond caring, it is time to pick this book up and start asking your students these questions at a slow speed and then build up to native level. Create some confidence in your students. Ask low level students easy questions and advanced students at rapid speed. Also use the space between the questions to add your own questions and answers.
