| Details | The focus of Chapter 6, “Sort/kind of at the peripheries: Metapragmatic play and complex interactional / textual effects in scripted dialog,” was on trying to answer the following questions about the discourse/pragmatic markers, sort/kind of, that are known to appear at RP and LP even though they are overwhelmingly favored medially.
* Do sort/kind of function in differently at the peripheries than at medial positions? * Does kind of function differently than sort of at the peripheries? * Do LP and RP occurrences of sort/kind of in actual speech differ from fictional representations of them? In other words, might fiction writers and scriptwriters misrepresent or exaggerate LP and RP sort/kind of, or might they provide insights into how they function at even deeper metalinguistic levels? |
