抄録
This study discusses the first representation of the I mean sure construction and examines its characteristics within the Construction Grammar framework. It shows that this construction often signals the speaker’s acknowledgment of a prior statement and is frequently followed by the conjunction but, indicating concession. Furthermore, it also functions as a marker of politeness and has become an entrenched linguistic structure. This study explores how the use of the I mean sure construction explains the flexibility and adaptability of language in expressing nuanced stance-taking and relational positioning.
