Description
The article does not aim at presenting the various descriptions of this linguistic phenomenon which can be found in the literature, although the author’s profound knowledge of these is clearly a resource which strengthens her approach and method. What she aims to do is to provide corpus evidence from some literary and non-literary texts, to show how, with what frequency, and in relation to which strategies of the authors, this linguistic device actually occurs.
