Conclusion.ReviewsAdvance praise: 'Kate Beeching's important contribution to the study of pragmatic markers in English combines - for the first time - detailed sociolinguistic synchronic analysis with historical corpora studies in an accessible, informative, and readable text.' Laurel Brinton, University of British Columbia 'Kate Beeching's important contribution to the study of pragmatic markers in English combines - for the first time - detailed sociolinguistic synchronic analysis with historical corpora studies in an accessible, informative, and readable text.' Laurel Brinton, University of British Columbia 'Kate Beeching's volume will be very helpful to anyone interested in pragmatics and sociolinguistics, as well as to specialists of pragmatic markers … the very clear review of the literature, the definite conclusions that can nonetheless be drawn from the data, and the parallel and systematic study of six markers in the same variety of English, make the volume a most important contribution to the field.' Laure Gardelle, Cercles 'The book not only provides a comprehensive discussion of these markers but, more importantly, offers an analytic framework that future investigation into pragmatic markers can use, thereby contributing to pragmatic marker studies in particular. Furthermore, the book also demonstrates the usefulness of corpus investigation techniques in exploring pragmatic phenomena, thereby contributing to the field of corpus pragmatics in general … we value the book highly and as such we would recommend it to all those who are interested in (corpus) pragmatics.'
