English placeholders as manifestations of vague language: their role in social interaction
Original language description
Unlike studies primarily focusing on the “therapeutic” effect of PHs (i.e. a self-repair), this paper, taking into consideration contextual settings of the analyzed corpus data, enriches the existing taxonomies by no less important “diplomatic” use of PHs, in which the PHs are used as a “bluff”, a diplomatic withdrawal of the referent. Having quantified and qualified the two basic uses of PHs, i.e. therapeutic and diplomatic, the author identifies five communicative strategies prototypically associated with the use of PHs in general and nominal PHs in particular.
