(I’m like, you’re like, s/he’s like; I was like, you were like, s/he was like - not I waslike, you waslike, s/he waslikes.)<br /><br />The linguistic term for it is quotative “like” and there have been several academic papers about it, including this early one from 1990 and this extensive survey of functions of “like” by Alexandra D’Arcy.<br /><img src="https://lupin5th.dreamwidth.org/file/139713.png" /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lupin5th&ditemid=139652" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://lupin5th.dreamwidth.org/139652.html language linguistics crosspost public 0
