Linguists have found that this propensity can shed light on the nature and structure of language, and there are many studies which attempt to harness the potential of natural chunking.This book explores the role of chunking in the description of discourse, especially spoken discourse. It appears that chunking offers a sound but flexible platform on which can be built a descriptive model which is more open and comprehensive than more familiar approaches to structural description. The model remains linear, in that it avoids hierarchies, and it concentrates on the combinatorial patterns of text.The linear approach turns out to have many advantages, bringing together under one descriptive method a wide variety of different styles of speech and writing. It is complementary to established grammars, but it raises pertinent questions about many of their assumptions. 410 0$aStudies in corpus linguistics ;$vv. 25. 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general 606 $aLanguage and languages 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general. 615 0$aLanguage and languages. 676 $a415 700 $aSinclair$b John$f1933-2007.$0105535 701 $aMauranen$b Anna$0600479 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965539803321 996 $aLinear unit grammar$91023404 997 $aUNINA
