Cooptation (grammar)
Cooptation is a cognitive-communicative operation whereby a piece of text, such as a clause, a phrase, a word, or any other unit, is inserted in a sentence. In the framework of Discourse Grammar, cooptation is understood as leading to the transfer of linguistic material from the domain of Sentence Grammar to that of Thetical Grammar.〔〔
==An example==
The operation of cooptation can be illustrated with the following utterance taken from the British component of the ''International Corpus of English'':〔
*''What I’ve done here I hope you don’t entirely disapprove is try and limit the time taken on this item by putting it in writing.'' (ICE-GB: s1b-075-180)
In this example, the utterance is obviously composed of two pieces: On the one hand, there is the well-formed and self-contained sentence ''What I’ve done here is try and limit the time taken on this item by putting it in writing'', which provides the host construction. On the other hand, there is the piece ''I hope you don’t entirely disapprove'', which is inserted in the host construction but neither syntactically nor semantically, nor prosodically integrated in the host construction, and rather than contributing to the meaning of the sentence, it relates to the situation of discourse. Such inserts are commonly known as parentheticals or extra-clausal constituents.〔〔 In the framework of Discourse Grammar they are referred to as ''theticals'', and cooptation is the operation that enables speakers to transfer them from one domain of grammar to the other, and to place them in various slots of the host construction.〔〔〔
