Dear linguists,
I'm a PhD student and work on parentheticals in English. I'm currently looking into parenthetical 'what' and was wondering if any of you is aware of any previous publications/research carried out on that particular parenthetical. What I mean by parenthetical 'what' is illustrated in (1) and (2): 1. And I know it rhymes with The Terminator which was a big movie *what* ten years ago. (from American Pie II) 2. These [the paintings] are huge, they are between *what* six and seven feet long. (Fiona Bruce, BBC1, Crimewatch UK, 28 Oct 2004) Thank you very much in advance for your cooperation. I will summarise and post all relevant information on the LinguistList. Kind regards, Yordanka |
