Demonstratives in discourse

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (27957 ratings)

Description:This volume explores the use of demonstratives in the structuring and management of discourse, and their role as engagement expressions, from a crosslinguistic perspective. It seeks to establish which types of discourse-related functions are commonly encoded by demonstratives, beyond the well-established reference-tracking and deictic uses, and also investigates which members of demonstrative paradigms typically take on certain functions. Moreover, it looks at the roles of non-deictic demonstratives, that is, members of the paradigm which are dedicated e.g. to contrastive, recognitional, or anaphoric functions and do not express deictic distinctions. Several of the studies also focus on manner demonstratives, which have been little studied from a crosslinguistic perspective. The volume thus broadens the scope of investigation of demonstratives to look at how their core functions interact with a wider range of discourse functions in a number of different languages. The volume covers languages from a range of geographical locations and language families, including Cushitic and Mande languages in Africa, Oceanic and Papuan languages in the Pacific region, Algonquian and Guaykuruan in the Americas, and Germanic, Slavic and Finno-Ugric languages in the Eurasian region. It also includes two papers taking a broader typological approach to specific discourse functions of demonstratives.IntroductionÅshild Næss, Anna Margetts, Yvonne TreisBeyond exophoric and endophoric usesAdditional discourse functions of demonstrativesEkkehard KönigThe use of manner demonstratives in discourseA contrastive study of Wan (Mande) and Kambaata (Cushitic)Tatiana Nikitina, Yvonne TreisMorphosyntactic and functional asymmetries in Vatlongos discourse demonstrativesEleanor RidgeTracking and recognitional use of Kalamang "opa"Demonstrative of cognitive accessibilityEline VisserStsíkiistsi ki stsíkiistsiThe ubiquity of Blackfoot demonstratives in discourseHeather Bliss, Martina WiltschkoPilagá determiners and demonstrativesDiscourse use and grammaticalisationDoris L.
