Chapter 17List constructions
Anna Inbar | Tel Aviv University
The primary concern of this study is to examine list
constructions in spoken Hebrew, from two perspectives: an intentional perspective
setting out the properties that a linguistic expression needs in order to be considered a
list construction (the concept) and an extensional perspective specifying
the objects that fall under this construction (typology). The study reviews the nature of
list constructions in general, with the grammatical, lexical, semantic, and prosodic
features of such constructions analyzed in relation to their discourse functions in everyday
spoken Hebrew. The description of list constructions is based on examples from the CoSIH
database of conversational interactions recorded during 2001 and 2002.
