2020年疫情带来的影响不言而喻,国内外众多语言学会议和讲座或无限期推迟,或转为线上进行。一时间,各类公众号和自媒体上的讲座直播通告令人应接不暇。巴西语言学会(Abralin, Associação Brasileira de Linguística)在疫情期间广泛联络世界各地知名语言学家,策划了Abralin Ao Vivo(即 Linguists Online)系列讲座,自5月起通过YouTube频道向全球直播。获邀参加的语言学家已超过百位,可谓大师云集,规模空前。陕西师大语言与认知研究所(CogLing.cn)与Abralin达成合作关系,获得Abralin独家内容授权,通过本微信公号向中国大陆学者同行独家转发该系列讲座的精选内容。
English Introduction
Cognitive linguistics seeks to account for “a speaker’s knowledge of the full range of linguistic conventions” (Langacker 1987; also Goldberg 2006). It is surprising therefore that little attention has been paid in cognitive linguistics to the linguistic conventions called “discourse markers” (Schiffrin 1987) or “pragmatic markers” (Fraser 2009, et passim). Pragmatic markers include signals of attention to social relationships (well, please), beliefs (I think, in fact), and discourse management (after all, anyway). Members of the third subtype are metatextual connectors of discourse segments (“discourse markers” in Fraser’s taxonomy). I argue that because pragmatic markers (PMs) in general play a major role in negotiating meaning, they are an important part of speakers’ knowledge of language. PMs are well-known not to have truth-conditional meaning, and not to be syntactically integrated with the host clause. However, they have conventional pragmatic meanings (Hansen 2012, Finkbeiner 2019). In English they are typically associated with a slot preceding the core clause and sometimes medial and final slots. I exemplify my recent research on the historical development in English of metatextual discourse markers with a diachronic construction grammar perspective on by the way (Traugott 2020). Focus will be on the importance of routinized, replicated contexts in change (Croft 2001, Bybee 2010).
