  Fillers, pauses and placeholders / edited by Nino Amiridze, Boyd H. Davis, Margaret 

Maclagan. - Amsterdam ; Philadelphia : Benjamins, c2010 

224 p. ; 25 cm. - (Typological studies in language, ISSN 0167-7373 ; vol. 93) 

ISBN 978-90-272-0674-9 

  Fillers are items that speakers insert in spontaneous speech as a repair strategy. Types of 

fillers include hesitation markers and placeholders. Both are used to fill pauses that arise 

during planning problems or in lexical retrieval failure. The present volume is the first 

collection on the topic of fillers and will be a useful reference work for future investigations on 

the topic. It consists of typological surveys and in-depth studies exploring the form and use of 

fillers across languages and sections of different populations, including cognitively impaired 

speakers.

The papers focus on basic concepts in grammaticalization research such as the concept of 

'grammar' as the endpoint of grammaticalization processes, erosion, (uni)directionality, the 

relation between grammaticalization and constructions, subjectification, and the relation 

between grammaticalization and analogy. The languages covered include English and its 

varieties, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, French, Slavonic languages, and Turkish.

  Prosody in interaction / edited by Dagmar Barth-Weingarten, Elisabeth Reberand and 

Margaret Selting. - Amsterdam ; Philadelphia : Benjamins, c2010 

XXI, 406 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. - (Studies in discourse and grammar, ISSN 0928-8929 ; vol. 23) 

ISBN 978-90-272-2633-4 

  Prosody is constitutive for spoken interaction. In more than 25 years, its study has grown 

into a full-fledged and very productive field with a sound catalogue of research methods and 

principles. This volume presents the state of the art, illustrates current research trends and 

uncovers potential directions for future research. All contributions are based on empirical, 

audio- and/or video-recorded data of natural talk-in-interaction, including languages such as 

English, German and Japanese. The methodologies employed come from ethnomethodology, 

conversation analysis and interactional linguistics.

  Gli scritti riuniti nella presente raccolta sono stati organizzati dai curatori secondo i vari campi 

d'indagine affrontati nella non vasta, ma densa produzione di M.-E. Conte. Essa tocca in 

particolare, oltre alla linguistica testuale, la pragmatica linguistica, la teoria dell'enunciazione, 

la performatività, la controperformatività e la modalità, al crocevia tra pragmatica e semantica. 

Di particolare interesse, infine, le sue ricognizioni-riflessioni storiche, da cui si dipana quel filo 

del suo pensiero che risulta suscettibile di svolgimenti in varie direzioni, come segnavia per 

molti studiosi e studi a venire.
