Concluding remarks -- Acknowledgements -- Glossing conventions -- References -- Corpus -- Appendix -- The grammaticalization of nomə in the Eastern Abruzzese dialect Ortonese -- 1. Introduction -- 2. Characterizations of nomə -- 3. Omo in Old Abruzzese -- 4. Nomə in Ariellese -- 5. Nomə in written Ortonese -- 6. Nomə in spoken Ortonese -- 7. Conclusion -- References -- Sources -- Sequentiality in dialogue as a trigger for grammaticalization -- 1. Introduction -- 2. The corpus -- 3. Grammaticalization in interactive contexts -- 4. Dialogic language use -- 5. Final particles -- 6. Dialogic schema I: Implied conditional relations with final then -- 7. Dialogic schema II: Dissonant relations with final though -- 8. Dialogic schema III: Concessive conditional relations with final anyway -- 9. Others factors motivating the grammaticalization of final particles -- 10. Conclusion -- Corpora -- References. "Final hanging but" in American English -- 1. Introduction -- 2. Final but: "hanging implication" and "final particle" -- 2.1 "Grammaticization continuum" -- 2.2 Truncation and backshift: Two pathways to final buts -- 3. Functional subordinators and and but -- 3.1 How English coordinators are translated? -- 3.2 Discourse-functions of [X and] and [X but] clauses -- 3.3 The terminal bracketing function of and and but in spontaneous conversation -- 4. From left-subordinating coordinators to final particles -- 4.1 Truncation type of final and -- 4.2 Truncation type of final but -- 5. From functional subordinators to final particles -- 5.1 The rise of an interpersonal function in final coordinators -- 5.2 Dependency and hanging implication -- 6. Conclusion -- Keys to abbreviations -- References -- Author index -- Subject index.
Mulder and Thompson (2006, 2008) point out that the final hanging but ([X but]) developed from initial but (X [but Y]) through a sequence of formal reanalyses, and insightfully observe the functional and formal parallelism between the development of the hanging type of final but and the final particalization of the Japanese subordinator -kedo. The present article demonstrates that but (and and as well) can perform a terminal bracketing function and serve as functional subordinators in spoken American English, and that they behave like final particles when the sentences are truncated. Although they are not so final-particalized as Australian final but, their interpersonal functions in final position are edging them closer to the status of final particles in spoken American English.
