Dear Linguistlist readers, I am currently working on the English discourse marker "so" in the speech of native speakers and German non-native speakers of English. Classifying the occurring instances of "so", I wondered whether the Germans' usage of "so" might be influenced by the German particle "also". Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find specific analyses on the usages and functions of this particle. Therefore my question: Does anybody know of literature analysing the functions of the German particle "also"? I would be grateful for any hint!
