Back Jacket

Although usage-based linguistics emphasizes the centrality of the discourse context for language usage and cognition, this insight has not been fully integrated into the investigation of processes of grammatical variation and change. In twelve chapters, the contributors to this volume take up the challenge of contextualization and present case studies on grammatical variation and change in English from different theoretical and methodological perspectives.
