  abstract: Todor Koev investigates the semantics and pragmatics of a representative sample of parenthetical constructions from three theoretical viewpoints. He argues that these constructions fall into two major classes, pure and impure, and explains parenthetical meaning through a formally precise and predictive dynamic model.
