- W174885201 abstract "The present paper discusses the discourse-organizing function of the particle 'aside' in dependent clauses and phrases such as (1) and (2). (1) Leaving justice aside, however, there are good pragmatic reasons for concern. (AC1) (2) Prejudice aside, the Republic has shown the best form in the group so far. (AC2)Though the particle 'aside' shows spatial relations prototypically, it also has a discourse-organizing function when used in dependent structures. In the two types of constructions above, the grammatical subject of the main clause and the semantic subject of the present participle clause do not correspond. In this study, I discuss various characteristics of these two constructions by comparing them with the spatial sense of 'aside' in dependent structures.Data and Methods:I investigated the discourse basis of 'aside' by extracting all the examples of the particle 'aside' (3447 examples) from the British National Corpus. I then manually selected all examples used in dependent clauses and phrases (589 examples). I coded the following 6 factors to these 589 examples; (a) function of 'aside,' (b) location of the dependent structure relative to the main clause, (c) types of nouns used in the dependent structures, (d) mode of language, (e) correspondence between subjects between the main and dependent clause, and (f) word order within the present participle clause. I then carried out two case studies by using various statistical methods.Results and Discussions:In BNC, forty verbs co-occurred with aside in dependent structures. About 80 percent of the examples use the top five constructions (i.e. leaving(183), NP aside(176), setting(48), pushing(38), and putting(32)). The results suggest four prominent correlations among the constructions' grammatical, semantic and discourse characteristics. First, the discourse use of 'aside' tends to be located before a main clause. Second, in the top three high frequency constructions (leaving aside, NP aside, setting aside), 98 percent of the examples have a discourse-organizing function, while in other verbs such as 'push' and 'brush,' only 14 percent of all the instances have a discourse-organizing function. Third, when aside has a discourse-organizing function, its form is relatively fixed (e.g., a verb and 'aside' tend to appear in sequence in AC1 (e.g. leaving aside politics), and AC2 is a postpositional use of the particle). Fourth, a definite NP tends to co-occur with AC1, and an indefinite NP and pronoun tend to co-occur with AC2.From these results, I conclude that the 'aside' constructions show an ongoing process of Grammaticalization (i.e. the stage two in subjectification). That is, as a meaning of 'aside' shifts from a spatial one to a discourse-organizing function, the aside constructions tend to be reanalyzed and behave similar to other discourse markers (e.g. they are restricted in their form and location.)." @default.
