title = "The functions of the auxiliary {\textquoteleft}have{\textquoteright} in Australian English vivid narratives",
abstract = "The present chapter builds on earlier work showing that the Present Perfect (PP) in Australian English (AusE) narratives and police media reports has acquired some of the functions of the Simple Past (SP). It focuses more specifically on subject-auxiliary ellipsis in sequences of non-standard PP clauses with the aim of better understanding auxiliary scope in such segments. Our data are taken from three corpora of oral narratives and one corpus of written media reports. We argue that the auxiliary, in its full or cliticized form, serves as a marker of saliency, highlighting a speaker{\textquoteright}s subjectivity, and that it has acquired discourse segmenting functions for some speakers. Both increased subjectivity and widening of scope are consistent with principles of semantic change.",
