Lecture: Prosody and grammaticalization: The case of 'sort of/kind of/type of'

This talk will present the results of my MA thesis, which dealt with the interrelationship between the grammaticalization and the prosodic realization of 'sort of/kind of/type of' (SKT-construction) from a Construction Grammar perspective.
The data for this study was taken from the original London-Lund Corpus (LLC1), with material from the 1960s-80s, and the London-Lund Corpus 2 (LLC2), with material from the 2010s. Using the prosodic annotation of the LLC1 and both acoustic and auditory analysis for the LLC2, a relationship between the stress patterns of the SKT-construction and its different stages of grammaticalization could be established both synchronically for both corpora separately and diachronically in a comparison of both data sets.
