Notes:	"The present volume owes its existence to one of these conferences, viz. the International Conference on Grammaticalization Theory and Data, held at the University of Rouen in May 10-11, 2012 [which is the first quadriennial conference]. The purpose of this conference was to advance our knowledge on this type of language change through further general and theoretical explorations and through further empirical case studies. As a consequence of this program our volume is divided into a section dealing with general, theoretical aspects of grammaticalization and a section in which new case studies are presented."

Summary:	Mulder and Thompson (2006, 2008) point out that the final hanging but ([X but]) developed from initial but (X [but Y]) through a sequence of formal reanalyses, and insightfully observe the functional and formal parallelism between the development of the hanging type of final but and the final particalization of the Japanese subordinator -kedo. The present article demonstrates that but (and and as well) can perform a terminal bracketing function and serve as functional subordinators in spoken American English, and that they behave like final particles when the sentences are truncated. Although.
