Abstract:

Drawing on usage-based theory, neurocognition, and complex systems,
"Languaging Beyond Languages" elaborates an elegant model accommodating
accumulated insights into human language even as it frees linguistics from its
two-thousand-year-old, ideological attachment to reified grammatical systems.
Idiolects are redefined as continually emergent collections of context
specific, probabilistic memories entrenched as a result of domain-general
cognitive processes that create and consolidate linguistic experience. Also
continually emergent, conventionalization and vernacularization operate across
individuals producing the illusion of shared grammatical systems.
Conventionalization results from the emergence of parallel expectations for
the use of linguistic elements organized into syntagmatic and paradigmatic
relationships. In parallel, vernacularization indexes linguistic forms to
sociocultural identities and stances. Evidence implying entrenchment and
conventionalization is provided in asymmetrical frequency distributions.
