Abstract
The previous chapter compared two discourse particles that contrasted markedly in their patterns of use in SCO and BNC/C. This chapter looks at the items just and like. While these are also found used by themselves as discourse markers in both corpora, their high level of co-occurrence is a reason to discuss the two terms in the same chapter. Tagliamonte (2005) and other linguists have also highlighted further parallels between the words.
