Review "It is obvious that Lansaris book can and must be given due attention. … the brilliant combination of an extremely detailed corpus analysis and a very strong theoretical embedding of the results will appeal to many linguists from different horizons and provide them with new insights. … she succeeds in presenting the book as a whole in a very structured and coherent way, which makes it very pleasant to read." (Gudrun Vanderbauwhede, Corpus Pragmatics, Vol. 5, 2021)"The book is potentially far-reaching, in terms of its theoretical and methodological implications in future DM studies. … this is an inspirational book which is informative and enlightening. Through an easily accessible approach to the subject, this book gives new insights to readers, who have a keen interest in the study of DMs and particularly in the comparative investigation of DMs across languages. … its theoretical and methodological contributions are huge and must justifiably be acknowledged." (Yi Shan, Journal of Pragmatics, Vol. 180, 2021)"This book yields a worthwhile read for several reasons. … the book can lead to more studies with a similar approach but focusing on other DMs, and conceivably this trend may be welcomed in an excellent manner outside the French academic community." (Reza Kazemian, Discourse Studies, Vol. 22 (2), 2020) Review Quote "This book yields a worthwhile read for several reasons. ... the book can lead to more studies with a similar approach but focusing on other DMs, and conceivably this trend may be welcomed in an excellent manner outside the French academic community." (Reza Kazemian, Discourse Studies, Vol. 22 (2), 2020) Feature Re-examines the class of discourse makers from an epistemological standpoint, highlighting the divergences between the French enunciative tradition and the English pragmatic tradition Investigates how these markers work in discourse from a syntactic and semantico-pragmatic perspective Compares the markers under scrutiny both cross-linguistically and within one language, and defines distinct discursive profiles for them Details ISBN303024895X Author Laure Lansari Year 2019 ISBN-10 303024895X ISBN-13 9783030248956 Format Hardcover Pages 230 Publication Date 2019-08-24 Short Title A Contrastive View of Discourse Markers Language English Subtitle Discourse Markers of Saying in English and French DOI 10.1007/978-3-030-24896-3 DEWEY 425 Edition 1st Place of Publication Cham Country of Publication Switzerland UK Release Date 2019-08-24 Illustrations 1 Illustrations, black and white; XIV, 230 p. 1 illus.
