Whales, Candlelight, and Stuff Like That: General Extenders in English Discourse - Oxford Studies in Sociolinguistics
Overstreet, Maryann (Assistant Professor of European Languages and Literatures, Assistant Professor of European Languages and Literatures, University of Hawaii, Manoa)
An account of general extenders ("or something", "and stuff", "or whatever"). Combining insights from linguistics, cognitive psychology, and interactional sociolinguistics, the author demonstrates that these small phrases are not simply vague expressions, but have a powerful role in making interpersonal communication work.
