- Summary:
- This volume embarks on an exploration of the processual and dynamic character of grammatical constructions in emergence, both from an;emergent and an;emerging perspective.;Emerging constructions develop out of their surrounding discourse contexts.;Emergent constructions are due to the on-line production of grammar in time. On the basis of empirical studies on spoken English, German, Hebrew, Swedish and French, this volume shows how in both senses, grammar is a highly adaptive resource for interaction.
