Le marche di lista in russo. Segnali riformulativi, estensivi, generalizzanti… i vse takoe

Valentina Benigni List Construction Markers in Russian: Riformulative Signals, General Extenders... I vse takoe This paper offers a descriptive survey of list markers in contemporary Russian, i.e discourse markers that signal the presence of a list and at the same time fulfil specific semantic and pragmatic functions, such as generalization (и все такое ‘and things like that’, или что-то в этом роде ‘or something’), exemplification (типа ‘such as/kind of’, например ‘for example’) or reformulation of the list content (так сказать ‘so to speak, вернее ‘more precisely’). It also explores the structural and functional properties of general extenders (Overstreet 1999) within the framework of CxG, focusing particularly on the process of lexicalization and grammaticalization of the discourse marker и все такое ‘and things like that’. The survey allows to make some generalisations about the multifuncionality of these discourse marker from both a monolingual and a contrastive perspective
