Abstract:

Dependency is a fundamental concept in the analysis of linguistic systems. The
many if-then statements offered in typology and grammar-writing imply a
casually real notion of dependency that is central to the claim being
made—usually with reference to widely varying timescales and types of
processes. But despite the importance of the concept of dependency in our
work, its nature is seldom defined or made explicit. This book brings together
experts on language, representing descriptive linguistics, language typology,
functional/cognitive linguistics, cognitive science, research on gesture and
other semiotic systems, developmental psychology, psycholinguistics, and
linguistic anthropology to address the following question: What kinds of
dependencies exist among language-related systems, and how do we define and
explain them in natural, causal terms?
