It refers to the cognitive mechanism deriving from the attentional state, in which one element is perceived by the co-speaker as standing out among others. A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language. This paper focuses on the adverbial clauses introduced by “when”. Table 1 describes the verbal features for foreground that are considered in our analysis and their distribution in appositive relative clauses. The paper discusses subordinate clauses in English, specifically, finite and non-finite nominal clauses and finite and non-finite adnominal relative clauses. “Givenness, contrastiveness, definiteness, subjects, topics, and point of view.” In C. N. Li (ed. Restrictive relative clauses are the most modulated among both the different types and their surroundings (20% of speakers showing a significant contrast in pitch movement between L and. New York and London, UK: Routledge, 2004. 10 The table follows the reading model of Table 1. Prosodic Systems and Intonation in English. Their verbal marks clearly participate to the foreground, increasing not only their salience (i.e. In face-to-face conversation, participants negotiate meaning through multimodal contributions, in which the linguistic resources of speech interface with gesture. Thompson, Sandra A. and Robert E. Longacre. Appositive relatives are also classified as adverbials (Biber et al. “Audiovisual Representation of Prosody in Expressive Speech Communication.” Speech Communication 46–3 (2005): 473–484. Appositive relatives are also classified as adverbials (Biber. The agreement between coders was 84.9%. Example (16) also highlights the highest rate of direct transitivity of restrictive relative clauses: features a direct transitive verbal form (. “Understanding Non-restrictive Which-clauses in Spoken English, Which is not an Easy Thing.” Language Sciences 23 (2001): 651–677. London: Longman, 1985. Dancygier, Barbara and Eve Sweetser. “Mutual Gaze and Recognition: Revisiting Kendon’s ‘Gaze Direction in Two-person Conversation’”. On the contrary, main clauses should feature process verbs and express dynamicity. Gestures mostly index the referential and sequential status of newly-introduced elements, thanks to stratification techniques indexing the value of an item or segment on several simultaneous scopes, from the most descriptive to the most abstract level. 96Example (16) also highlights the highest rate of direct transitivity of restrictive relative clauses: Sc features a direct transitive verbal form (i.e. gather five focalisation cues. The agreement between coders was 81.9%. Initial temporal relative clauses are “grammatical signals” indicating the opening of a new discourse unit, which they frame (Brown and Yule 1983; Chafe 1984; Charolles 1997; Longacre 1996; Van Dijk 1977; Virtanen 1992). Gestures with a representational function describe or represent objects, actions, and/or ideas, while gestures with an organisational function convey abstract information about discourse or the interaction. Throughout a vocal paragraph, pitch height naturally declines in a progressive manner. Repeated gestures throughout an interaction create coherence in terms of discourse (Lascarides and Stone 2009). The korrelat can be obligatory, optional or not used at all. Norris, Sigrid. Thompson, Sandra A. The increase in representational gestures is illustrated in example (11) in the Discussion section. Calbris, Geneviève. New York: Academic Press, 1976. Amsterdam: John Benjamins, 2007. In the research presented here, the subordinate constructions (Sc) under study encompass the three most widespread syntactic types of finite clauses 2 functioning as modifiers in our oral corpus of spontaneous interaction (described in the “Corpus and methodology” section of the paper): adverbial clauses, restrictive relative clauses, and appositive relative clauses which are illustrated in examples … Subordinators or subordinating conjunctions usually introduce the subordinate clause in a sentence (see subordination and … There are four (4) elements that make up the English clause and we refer to them as the Elements of clause structure. Langacker, Ronald W. “Complex sentences.” In Cognitive Grammar. Inscribed in a continuity, the gestures encoding a same referent are more schematic, while those carrying new information are often more precise and clearer, . Underline the subordinate clause in the following sentences. Praat: Doing phonetics by computer [Computer program]. . Restrictive relative clauses are the most modulated among both the different types and their surroundings, as in (18), represented in Figure 5: : Extract from sequence (18) in Praat, showing a more modulated pitch in. Berlin, Germany: Springer, 1998. 50Communicative gestures were coded in Elan (Sloetjes and Wittenburg 2008), in which hand gestures, head and eyebrow movement as well as gaze direction were manually coded also by the two authors, following the parameters proposed by Bressem and Ladewig (2011). The informational value of adverbial clauses then resides in their propensity to evolve in status, going from episodic to global relevance. 103Restrictive relative clauses increase their production of hand beat gestures. “An Annotation Scheme for Conversational Gestures: How to Economically Capture Timing and Form.” Language Resources and Evaluation 41 (2007): 325–339. Subordinate units are typically less modulated (i.e. “Propositions relatives, identification et ambiguïté.” DRLAV 21 (1979): 135–145. While L makes a decent reason to come back in itself (“I’m coming back for someone”), the information explaining best Zoe’s unhappiness is the ascribed feature to L’s referent: that “someone” is “not even there”. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 2002. . Dortmund, Universität Dortmund (2005): 88–94. “‘Subordination’ in Universal Grammar.”. In (7) below, the sequence could be glossed as “it’s only one shop for the whole thing now, and that is quite bad”. They are more concerned with the organisational level of discourse, mainly giving information about the structure of these referents, and about the expression of a stance. Hirschberg, Julia and Barbara Grosz. Reinhart, Tanya. self-contact gestures used for comfort, were included although they cannot be considered as communicative gestures, because they give information on the organisation of turns, being more frequent when the participant is listening. 1996). 106This analysis presented a study of three types of subordinate clauses (appositive relative clauses, adverbial clauses and restrictive relative clauses) in a corpus of spoken English. Prosodic subordination is essentially achieved through intonation, . The majority of adverbial clauses are full speech acts. 28While very little work has been conducted on subordinate constructions from a multimodal perspective, a large body of research has detailed prosodic subordination (e.g. We are particularly interested in values which indicate a significant pitch reset (Top, Bottom), or a significant change in pitch key (Upstep —change towards a higher pitch range, Downstep— towards a lower pitch range). Enfield, Nicholas. In the research presented here, the subordinate constructions (Sc) under study encompass the three most widespread syntactic types of finite clauses2 functioning as modifiers in our oral corpus of spontaneous interaction (described in the “Corpus and methodology” section of the paper): adverbial clauses, restrictive relative clauses, and appositive relative clauses which are illustrated in examples (1-3) below. Within a discourse sequence, a distinction is made between discourse units fulfilling the main purpose of the sequence, those contributing to any pre-requisite to the fulfilment of the main purpose (which are thus related to the sequence, and are relevant at a sub-sequential level), and those dealing with intervening, side purposes. The last column gives the percentage of restrictive relative clauses showing each feature out of the total 40. which gives the number of gestures showing each feature per segment) and the last column (which gives the percentage of the gestures in restrictive relative clauses out of the total of gestures in the sequence – L+Sc+R). He still eats “black pudding”, whose composition he already knows and describes as “disgusting”. Paris: PUF, 1994. However. Table 9. While appositive relatives are derived from coordination for Burton-Roberts (1999) and De Vries (2006), Quirk, . main-clause telic bounded situations; Labov and Waletzky 1967). Zoe’s laugh punctuates. Wallace 1982). Dohen, Marion and Hélène Lœvenbruck. Local, John. In example (2) below, the adverbial clause is in initial position. Prosodic features tested in Appositive Relative Clauses. 90The increase in representational gestures is shown in Figure 4, that illustrates example (15), in which L and Sc provide a short abstract to Rhianna’s narrative: i tried [(a) driving once HEAD BEAT] in her car, when we were on a # [(b) little road HEAD BEAT in the countryside] #, [(c) and hem (swallows) she said HEAD BEAT turn left #]. At the level of discourse, their predisposition to cognitive centring with cataphoric referential elements in L and anaphoric elements in R is shown in (17), where Zoe describes in a narrative how depressed she was to come back for a second year abroad: 97While “someone” in L points forward, projecting further precision on a referent whose relevance in the sequence is not yet justified, R’s pronoun “it” in R refers to the whole situation described in the narrative. It has also been found that many newly grammaticizing constructions occur preferentially in main clauses (Giv6n 1979). now facilitates an account of subordinate constructions as multimodal phenomena. For example: ... WHAT IS A CLAUSE? They create pragmatic and/or modal foci above the propositional level, mainly relying on visual strategies. 10Although also introduced with a relative pronoun, appositive relative clauses are not invoked to single out a nominal referent, but to make an additional comment about it (Langacker 2008: 429). Local, John. Head movements were labelled into nods (downward-upward movement on a vertical axis as in assent/greeting), shakes (side-to-side movement on a horizontal axis), tilts (inclination sideways on a diagonal axis), beats (downward chin movement on a vertical axis without any acquiescing value), or jerks (sudden backward chin movement). Its aim was to establish whether the affirmation that subordinate clauses constitute background information as opposed to their host main clauses holds true. “Narrative Analysis: Oral Versions of Personal Experience.” In J. Givón (1987: 176) contradicts the notion of any fixed grammatical correlate to the foreground/background distinction in discourse. In the latter type, the relative pronoun only intervenes as an inter-propositional relator. While not showing any rhythmic difference, this syntactic type features the highest distribution of high rising contours among their embedding sequence (L: < .05), with 25% of adverbial clauses featuring such a contour. Bestgen, Yves. On the contrary, main clauses should feature process verbs and express dynamicity. The last column gives the percentage of adverbial clauses showing each feature out of the total 40. This substantial proportion, however, is shared with adverbial clauses. than in L or in R. Table 3 shows the gestural parameters we have considered as cues for foreground and their distribution in appositive relative clauses. The total column gives the number of features present in sequences (L+Sc+R) that contain a Restrictive Relative Clause. Each hand gesture was also assigned a function regarding co-occurring speech. 8 According to Grosz et al. Lazard, Gilbert. Prosody mostly indexes background information while gesture signals local salience for this type of, Although only presenting one additional cue, adverbial clauses (, show a different scope and greater thematic relevance. Morristown, NJ: Association for Computational Linguistics, 1992. ), Connectives as Discourse Landmarks. Arabic, like other languages, has various types of subordinate clauses. They provide a large number of subject complements as in (8): Unlike the encoded process in L, validating < it take us to Limoges >, comprises a state verb denoting a qualitative property of L’s last lexical item. (1995) and to Van Kuppevelt (1995), discourse is composed of series of sequences, each one carrying a distinct communicative purpose with specific goals and intentions. “How People Use Adverbial Clauses.”. Fundamental Frequency which participates in pitch perception) on the accented syllable of a lexical item conveys new information in the discourse (Baumann and Grice 2006). Table 1 describes the verbal features for foreground that are considered in our analysis and their distribution in appositive relative clauses. presuppositions) than their co-text (L: F(39,39) = 1.92, p < .05; R: F(39,39) = 2.23, p < .01). Beyond showing that subordinate constructions express different types of prominence, the results suggest that the creation of focalisation mainly relies on gestural cues in these constructions. “Discourse Coherence and Gesture Interpretation.”, Le Goffic, Pierre. Introducteurs de cadres et centrage.” Verbum 22–1 (2000): 59–78. Clauses according to semantic predicate-argument function. Punctuating subordinate clauses only gets tricky when they begin with relative pronouns such as that, which, who, when, where, and whose.Conveniently, this type of subordinate clause can be referred to as a relative clause.There are two types of relative clauses: restrictive and nonrestrictive. The beat configuration is held until the end of. 83As seen in the Results section, no verbal feature in adverbial clauses can significantly set them apart from the two other syntactic types. . Swerts, Marc and Emiel Krahmer. McNeill 2005). The foreground traditionally features new, salient information (Hopper 1979) in discourse, standing out through a particular surface structure or through the important cognitive operations the information triggers on the co-speaker (Talmy 1978), while the background is inferior in prominence (Polanyi and Hopper 1981; Lambrecht 1996) and indicates given or presupposed information (Fleischman 1985). The important role of co-speech gestures in linguistic production has been shown in pragmatics (e.g. However, in discourse, communicative priorities can be reversed using only the co-reference function of an antecedent. 112While subordinate constructions are not significantly emphasised through their syntactic realisation or lexical coding, the increase in the referential value of the gestural components suggests a shift towards a visual manipulation of representational features, and a global, sequential valorisation of information, through held gestures and repetitions throughout tone-units. This iconic hand gesture gives a hyperbolic dimension to the discourse segment, as Rhianna gives a literal and concrete expression to her mother’s will, and materialises her advice as strong pressure. While generally possessing distinct hand gesture units, they function above the propositional level: gestural layering (Cassell and McNeill 1990) takes place in the visual encoding of appositive relative clauses. Sc’s final rising contour indexes more talk to come, and centres the co-speaker’s attention on the forthcoming segment. Relative clauses feature either exclusive characterising functions (restrictive relative clauses) or non-exclusive characterising functions (appositive relative clauses). Kipp, Michael, Michael Neff and Irene Albrecht. . Tao, Hongyin and Michael J. McCarthy. Emonds (1979) and Cotte (2008) describe restrictive relative clauses as “attached, relative structures compared to appositive relative clauses, which are “detached”, iconically marking out the distance of the object. “Subordination and coordination in syntax, semantics and discourse.” In C. Fabricius-Hansen and W. Ramm (eds. , after which Tom finds a rest position (d). “Non-restrictive Relative Clauses, Ellipsis and Anaphora.”, Auer, Peter. The second coder is also a specialist of the field. they are easily distinguished from the co-text given their markedness) but also their relevance (i.e. New York: Springer, 1996. ), From Gesture in Conversation to Visible Action as Utterance. [After visiting Barcelona], the circus moved on to Madrid : Comparative Concessive Conditional Reason Result Temporal : 2. However, the lexical content of appositive relative clauses mainly marks an evaluative stance from the speaker, which does not represent critical information in the referential and/or sequential development of discourse. Sc’s emphatic contradiction (“not even”) encapsulates her feelings, thinking she had made an absurd decision, and presents an adversative element through the subordinating morpheme “that”. A salient structure is thus the result, or outcome, of focalisation as a process. “The Linguistic Realization of Information Packaging.”, Van den Broeck, Jan. “Determiners and Relative Clauses.”, Van Kuppevelt, Jan. “Main Structure and Side Structure in Discourse.”. 3 Syntactic Functions of Subordinate Clauses. “Aspect and Foregrounding in Discourse”. New York: Oxford University Press. ), Information Sharing: Reference and Presupposition in Language Generation and Interpretation. The korrelat is a word contained in the main clause (or, generally, in the superordinate clause) and reveals the syntactic role of a subject or an object subordinate clause; with adverbial clauses, it clarifies their meaning or creates a semantic unit with the introductory conjunction of the subordinate clause. Table 6 shows the distribution of the gestural cues for foreground in adverbial clauses. Harris (1982) considers adverbial clauses as predicates in which one of the agents is the verbal action in itself. major levels in a speaker’s pitch range) or in pitch height. Holler, Judith, Louise Schubotz, Spencer Kelly, Peter Hagoort, Manuela Schuetze and Asli Özyürek. These hand beats create a pragmatic focus as in sequence (19), represented in Figure 6 where Tom explains a television programme which tackles a different topical health issue each time. We test whether these forms mainly express foreground information or whether they preferentially provide secondary material in discourse. Subordinate constructions are generally defined as conveying background information (Tomlin 1985; Lambrecht 1996). ’s established gestural frame, while still valid for R’s interpretation, is not held or elaborated upon. Anglophonia – French Journal of English Linguistics est mis à disposition selon les termes de la licence Creative Commons Attribution - Pas d'Utilisation Commerciale - Pas de Modification 4.0 International. Huddleston, Rodney and Geoffrey K. Pullum. Gestures mostly index the referential and sequential status of newly-introduced elements, thanks to stratification techniques indexing the value of an item or segment on several simultaneous scopes, from the most descriptive to the most abstract level. In sum, the vocal cues used in appositive relative clauses serve more the expression of modality rather than that of informational emphasis. 100Restrictive relative clauses are the most modulated among both the different types and their surroundings, as in (18), represented in Figure 5: there were actually m- # grammar mistakes #. 2As traditionally described in syntax and discourse analysis, modifiers in discourse subordination refer to elements specifying or elaborating upon some primary features, often described as additions associated to another propositional content in the host or embedding structure (Biber et al. It has also been proposed that there may be a continuum of subordination even within one clause type (Tao and McCarthy 2001), and that certain subordinate clause types may not actually be best described as such, especially adverbials and appositive relative clauses (Depraetere 1996, Thompson 2002). This vocal mark points out the important textual role of the subordinate segment to the co-speaker. According to Blühdorn (2008), adverbial connectives link portions of speech neither by government and embedding nor by linear sequence. 87Adverbial clauses display the highest distribution of high rising contours. 2014). which gives the number of gestures showing each feature per segment) and the last column (which gives the percentage of the gestures in appositive relative clauses out of the total of gestures in the sequence —L+Sc+R). 113This study aimed at demonstrating that a composite, contextual vision of linguistic communication sheds new light on discourse subordination, which derives from numerous interactions between verbal, vocal, and visual components. En montrant que les constructions sous étude n’expriment pas les mêmes types de foci selon la façon dont les locuteurs utilisent les modalités prosodique et gestuelle pour exprimer plus ou moins de proéminence, les résultats suggèrent que la création de focalisation s’appuie majoritairement sur des indices de nature gestuelle.
