"Approaches to Discourse Particles" serves as a unique reference by
presenting the spectrum of approaches to discourse particles /
markers in their richness and variability, whilst ensuring that the
differences and similarities between the approaches are clear and
comparable. With the hundreds of studies now published on discourse
particles / markers, it is becoming increasingly difficult to make
such comparisons. Fischer addresses this problem by asking renowned
researchers from different linguistic backgrounds to describe their
particular ways of accounting for some of the most important
problem areas by addressing issues such as:
*definition
*the functional spectrum of the items considered
*the model of polyfunctionality proposed
*the broader framework of the model
Discourse particles fulfil many different functions; they
contribute to text structuring, dialogue management, turn-taking,
politeness, and more. Their investigation is, thus, relevant from
many different perspectives within pragmatics and linguistics as a
whole. "Approaches to Discourse Particles" constitutes an important
orientation for newcomers to the field, as well as providing the
necessary guidance and reference for the many scholars now working
in the growing research community.
"Wide-ranging and useful.... Places the assumptions underlying
divergent approaches in sharp relief."
--Lawrence Schourup, Osaka Prefecture University, Japan
