Recent interest in the formal (copy-paste "ing) and ethical ("ing as plagiarizing) aspects of "ing has been gaining considerable momentum in linguistics (and other disciplines), predominantly fuelled by enormous technological progress and the impact on both the procedure of "ing itself and its appraisal in public discourse. Embracing a broad, interdisciplinary perspective, the authors pay special tribute to the inherent complementarity of both synchronic and diachronic perspectives. With contributions pinpointing the formal and functional evolution of "ing and tracing trends in linguistic variation, this volume brings together interpersonal pragmatics, sociolinguistics, historical, cognitive and text linguistics as well as cultural studies. In this way, the present title provides a more comprehensive and integral understanding of the nature of "ing UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110427561 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9783110427561 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9783110427561/original ER -
