Parentheticals, hedging and utterance syntax
Keywords:
sentence syntax, parentheticals, hedging, comment clauses
Abstract
This paper reviews some theoretical proposals about sentence periphery. Comment clauses, parentheticals and hedging are terms which categorize different aspects of the speaker’s assessment in the discourse and they have different levels of relevance in a global model of discourse grammar. However, they constitute a first step in order to claim the description of the sentence syntax, independent of the powerful clause syntax.Downloads
