- Implementing incipient actions: The discourse marker ‘so’ in English conversation (2009, background): “…these updating questions with ‘so,’ the speakers use its function as a marker of emergence from incipiency reflexively to indicate that the matter is something they had meant to raise, thus emphasizing their engagement with the addressee (see Bolden, 2006 for an extended discussion of this usage).”
- “So What's Up?”: Using the Discourse Marker So to Launch Conversational Business (2008, background): “The differential usage of so suggests that callers may avoid the implication of having been waiting to introduce a self-attentive matter by choosing not to preface it with so (cf. Bolden, 2006).”
