"Language in Use" creatively brings together, for the first time,
perspectives from cognitive linguistics, language acquisition,
discourse analysis, and linguistic anthropology. The physical
distance between nations and continents, and the boundaries between
different theories and subfields within linguistics have made it
difficult to recognize the possibilities of how research from each
of these fields can challenge, inform, and enrich the others. This
book aims to make those boundaries more transparent and encourages
more collaborative research. The unifying theme is studying how
language is used in context and explores how language is shaped by
the nature of human cognition and social-cultural activity.
"Language in Use" examines language processing and first language
learning and illuminates the insights that discourse and
usage-based models provide in issues of second language learning.
Using a diverse array of methodologies, it examines how speakers
employ various discourse-level resources to structure interaction
and create meaning. Finally, it addresses issues of language use
and creation of social identity. Unique in approach and
wide-ranging in application, the contributions in this volume place
emphasis on the analysis of actual discourse and the insights that
analyses of such data bring to language learning as well as how
language shapes and reflects social identity - making it an
invaluable addition to the library of anyone interested in
cutting-edge linguistics.
