Description

This scholarly work by Gerard O'Grady continues David Brazil's groundbreaking research into the grammar of spoken discourse, building on foundations laid in A Grammar Of Speech (1995). O'Grady tests descriptive frameworks against authentic spoken corpus data, integrating over a decade of corpus linguistics findings with particular attention to multi-word phrases, lexical items, and ellipsis patterns. The text demonstrates how two intonation systems - Key and Termination - add communicative depth and precision to grammatical analysis of natural speech. Essential for linguists, academics, and professionals studying discourse patterns, this volume offers rigorous examination of how speakers actually construct and convey meaning through spoken English, moving beyond traditional written grammar to capture the dynamic features of real conversation.

Key Features

Continues David Brazil's pioneering research on spoken English discourse grammar with contemporary corpus linguistics methods.

Incorporates modern findings on multi-word phrases and lexical items larger than single orthographic words.

Demonstrates how Key and Termination intonation systems enhance grammatical description of natural speech.

Tests theoretical descriptions against authentic spoken corpus data for real-world accuracy.

Part of Continuum Studies in Theoretical Linguistics series, volume 2, offering scholarly depth for academic study.

Addresses ellipsis and other spoken language features absent from traditional written grammar frameworks.
