“…Third, a continuative ARC can be rewritten as a main clause coordinated to the original main clause. The categories are also correlated with specific morphosyntactic, semantic, and prosodic characteristics (see Auran & Loock 2010, 2011 for a discussion of the prosody of ARCs with respect to their discourse functions).…”

This article investigates the discourse functions of nonverbal appositives: noun phrases, prepositional phrases, and adjective phrases in apposition to a preceding nominal unit. Given the many similarities between nonverbal appositives and appositive relative clauses, the discourse functions of the latter serve as a starting point for an evaluation of the discourse functions of the former. More precisely, we compare our 600-token corpus of nonverbal appositives with Loock’s taxonomy of discourse functions for appositive relative clauses. The taxonomy is then modified to accommodate the nonverbal appositives that do not fit the taxonomy. Correlations with a series of linguistic parameters are established.
