«How to account for uh and um in written English or the structural impact of Discourse Traditions over time?

«The contributions in this innovative volume by leading scholars in English Linguistics explore the fascinating ‘tensions’ that occur at the boundaries of the traditional linguistic domains of syntax, morphology, semantics/pragmatics and phonetics/phonology from diachronic, synchronic and cross-varietal perspectives. Highly recommended.»
