Why do recordings of speakers engaging in reported speech at
British Prime Minister's Questions from the 1970s-80s sound so
distant to us? This cutting-edge study explores how the practices
of quoting have changed at parliamentary question time in light of
changing conventions and an evolving media landscape. Comparing
data from authentic audio and video recordings from 1978 to 1988
and from 2003 to 2013, it provides evidence for qualitative and
quantitative changes at the micro level (e.g., grammaticalisation
processes in the reporting clause) and in more global structures
(e.g., rhetorical patterns, and activities). These analytic
findings contribute to the theoretical modelling of evidentiality
in English, our understanding of constructions, interaction, and
change, and of PMQs as an evolving community of practice. One of
the first large-scale studies of recent change in an interactional
genre of English, this ground-breaking monograph offers a framework
for a diachronic interactional (socio-) linguistic research
programme.
