| description | Final but has been the focus of attention in recent studies in American and Australian English. Now there is a need to examine other dialects of English. The purpose of this article is to provide a synchronic study of final but in Southern and Northern British English by examining the spoken demographic section of the British National Corpus and the spoken section of the Scottish Corpus of Texts and Speech. Relying on the five criteria that define the category of theticals, it is shown that final but can be classified as a thetical with a schematic structure. The analysis also focuses on how final but has been subjectified in the two regions. |
