Taking a unique approach which combines sociolinguistics with
theoretical linguistics, this book presents a view of language and
grammar as both a cognitive and socio-cultural phenomena. Beginning
with Bakhtin's theories of conceptual grammar and lexico-grammar,
this book encompasses a broad philosophical range, engaging with
the ideas of key figures such as Bergson, Chomsky, Derrida and
Wittgenstein. Drawing on their work, it investigates how language
progresses from an inner reflection of the rational mind to develop
social and ideological aspects as it interacts with culture. In
doing so, it shows how identity is unitary and rational at the
linguistic core whilst multiple social identities are
simultaneously shaped by linguistic differences at the cultural
peripheries. Encompassing theoretical linguistics, cognitive
linguistics, discourse analysis, multilingualism, sociolinguistics
and semiotics, Rationality and Interpretation demonstrates how the
different branches of linguistics can complement each other and
highlights the socio-cultural influences of language development,
as well as how language development is shaped by those influences.
