TCUs and TRPs : the construction of "units" in conversational talk

Year: 1998
Type: report
Abstract: In this paper, I want to first show in detail that the notion of the TCU needs clarification, and why, and then suggest some solutions. In my view, we need to separate TCUs and TRPs more clearly, i.e. distinguish between TCUs that do not and that do end in TRPs. As a consequence, we need to clarify the relation between different kinds of units: under what conditions are what kinds of units TCUs and under what conditions do TCUs end or not end in TRPs?
