The distribution of pronoun case forms in English: A brief survey 330 $aThis article proposes a classification of speech functions of variable tag questions in British English conversations. Based on intonational, conversational and formal criteria the analysis shows that tag questions can not only function as questions and statements, but also as responses, commands and offers. A large group of tag questions cannot be captured by any of the traditional speech functions and are classified instead as Statement-Question blends. The article investigates the impact of the LLC and COLT corpora, and features such as gender, age and social roles, on the distribution of t 410 0$aStudies in corpus linguistics ;$vVolume 63. 606 $aEnglish language$xGrammar$xData processing$vCongresses 606 $aEnglish language$xResearch$xData processing$vCongresses 606 $aEnglish language$xDiscourse analysis$xData processing$vCongresses 606 $aComputational linguistics$vCongresses 615 0$aEnglish language$xGrammar$xData processing 615 0$aEnglish language$xResearch$xData processing 615 0$aEnglish language$xDiscourse analysis$xData processing 615 0$aComputational linguistics 676 $a420.1/88 702 $aDavidse$b Kristin 702 $aRompaey$b Tinne van 712 12$aInternational Conference on English Language Research on Computerized Corpora 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787288603321 996 $aCorpus Interrogation and Grammatical Patterns$91078702 997 $aUNINA
