Figure 6.4: Distribution of
that
across its referential function in TravCorp and SettCorp,
normalised per 10,000 words
Figure 6.4 also shows that in TravCorp
that
is used with a primarily exophoric function,
whereas in SettCorp
that
is primarily used anaphorically. The reasons for this pragmatic
variation can again be attributed to the influence of the different macro-social features
on the families. In TravCorp, the parents enact 14 out of the 30 instances of
that
, despite
the fact that the two parents are often in conversation with at least four children. These
occurrences can be seen in the concordance lines presented in Figure 6.5:
