Pragmatische partikels in de rechterperiferie

Compared with the left periphery, the right periphery of Dutch sentences and clauses has received little attention. This paper presents a study in which the positional possibilities of pragmatic markers as well as their contribution to the semantics and pragmatics of the sentence/utterance are explored. The value of different frameworks (generative, constructional and multifactorial) for the explanation of right periphery phenomena is discussed and the findings on Dutch final pragmatic markers are compared with similar phenomena in other languages.
