[Air-l] Non-lexcial items

[Patricia Lange]

Hello,

I just joined this list. Apologies if you've
circulated this recently, but I'm interested in
citations on nonlexical items such as uh, um, oh, er,
eh, and the like. I'm familiar with (especially older)
work by Fox Tree, Cherny, Yngve, Schiffrin, Schourup,
Fraser, Heritage, Schegloff, Hosman, Herbert Clark,
and Pomerantz.

But my main interest is folks who  have looked at
these terms in online contexts. I wrote a chapter in
my dissertation on um. And I'm looking for citations
on um and other words used online.

Any leads appreciated. Is it your sense that this has
been talked about a lot in the literature in terms of
online usage?

Thanks,

Patricia G. Lange, Ph.D.
