Definition and examples : The use of a noun phrase or tag at the end of an
utterance which can be used to clarify topic and make processing easier. The tag may be :
a) A noun phrase - She's a nice girl, our neighbour.
b) A declarative verb tag - It was crazy, it was.
c) a question tag - It's hot in here, isn't it?
NB : Don't confuse this use of the term tail with its use in the analysis of intonation.
