Abstract

Hijean Kim. 2004. A Usage-based Phonology Approach to Recent Changes of [in fact] > [fact]. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 29-2, 199-212. The issue addressed in this paper has to do with the ongoing development of the prepositional phrase [in fact] > [fact] based on American spoken corpus. In the Grammaticalization literature, the functional change of [in fact] has been well established: PP > epistemic adverbial(Traugott1999).Built on it, this paper reworks that observation via phonological approach within Usage-based framework (Bybee 2001). In particular, this paper first argues that the recent emergence of the [in] deletion, i.e. [fact] is directly associated with the syntactic and functional changes of [in fact]. On the account presented here, the [in] deletion data of [in fact] can support my claim that the phonological factors can provide critical evidence for the syntactic status of the unit. In particular, the claims observed here in the actual usages of [in fact] are: Due to the frequent usages, [in fact] has gradually undergone i) phonological changes through articulatory reduction -- /ɪn fǽkt/ (+stress) > /ǝ̃fækt/ (-stress) > /fækt/, ii) semantic changes -- contrastive truth > discourse elaboration > hedge/filler (pragmatic particle) and iii) syntactic changes -- the two word-sized unit > single word-sized unit (univerbation).
