Abstract
Previous studies have found discourse markers to be represented with only low frequencies in Early Modern English
trial proceedings, especially when compared to other dialogic and fictional text types from the same period. Nevertheless, they
comprise certain classes of markers, such as contrastive markers, which operate on different levels of discourse. This study aims
to provide further insights into the use of the coordinator but in a sociopragmatically annotated corpus of trial
proceedings from the period 1560 to 1760. Drawing on contextual information, the analysis will assess the distribution of
but throughout the Early Modern English period and address certain peaks in its use. In addition, the
sociopragmatic information included in the corpus will be consulted to discover which trial participants used the form repeatedly
in their speech and with which functions. Overall, this study will therefore offer an innovative sociopragmatic profile of
but as a contrastive marker in Early Modern English trials.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Historical Pragmatics provides an interdisciplinary forum for theoretical, empirical and methodological work at the intersection of pragmatics and historical linguistics. The editorial focus is on socio-historical and pragmatic aspects of historical texts in their sociocultural context of communication (e.g. conversational principles, politeness strategies, or speech acts) and on diachronic pragmatics as seen in linguistic processes such as grammaticalization or discoursization. Contributions draw on data from literary or non-literary sources and from any language. In addition to contributions with a strictly pragmatic or discourse analytical perspective, it also includes contributions with a more sociolinguistic or semantic approach.
