| Zusammenfassung: | Gam nearly always immediately precedes its syntactic domain and its syntactic characteristics often provide clues for identifying its domain. Although the syntactic and semantic classes of gam provided a point of departure for its pragmatic interpretation and some of these correlate with the classes from a pragmatic point of view, the insights of pragmatics rendered some of the author's earlier syntactic and semantic distinctions superfluous. From a pragmatic point of view gam may be descriptionbed as a lexical means for minimizing the processing cost of an utterance by demarcating the particular set of assumptions that an utterance should be connected to. The contextual effects of the utterance containing gam may be (1) the stronger confirmation of an existing assumption or newly established assumption, (2) the confirmation of a possible implicature of an established or a newly established assumption or (3) the confirmation of the commitment of a speaker to or confrontation of a hearer with his role in a reciprocal, corresponding or resultative process. |
