Redundancy and Analogy: a Cognitive Discourse Analysis look at as in spoken data
Résumé
This posters presents a criticism of analyses of conjunction/preposition "as" in terms of identification on the basis of psychological plausibility and cognitive costs. Instead, I argue in favor of an analysis in terms of redundancy and analogy: as signals analogical information in the immediate cotext, the treatment of which can achieved more superficially, thus faster. Finally, using Cognitive Discourse Analysis, I suggest a typology of uses of as based on the level of informational redundancy. The notion can be linked to ease of processing.
