Description

Continue your study of linguistic theory with this essential volume in the Continuum Studies in Theoretical Linguistics series. Following the foundation laid by David Brazil in A Grammar of Speech (1995), Gerard O'Grady expands upon the grammar of spoken discourse by testing descriptions of used language against a spoken corpus. This book integrates modern findings from the last decade of corpus linguistics. It provides a detailed look at phrases and lexical items larger than single orthographic words, as well as the mechanics of ellipsis. A significant portion of the work is dedicated to the communicative significance of two specific intonation systems: Key and Termination. By reviewing existing literature and applying new data, O'Grady offers a rigorous look at how spoken English functions in practice. This text is a valuable resource for researchers, students, and academics focusing on syntax, structure, and the nuances of spoken communication.
