Abstract

[In this chapter, I will investigate the interpersonal resources of the nominal group. From an interpersonal perspective, nominal groups are significant in the following aspects: firstly, in terms of speech function, especially in realising the fundamental types of speech role, a nominal group provides choices to either give or demand further information about a referent; secondly, in terms of Person, nominal groups provide resources to realise a Person choice as an interactant or a non-interactant; thirdly, in terms of modality, the system of THING TYPE provides resources to metaphorically realise probability and usuality, and post-Deictic provides resources to elaborate the degree of modality; fourthly, nominal groups are very significant in the prosodic realisation of attitude.]
