Abstract:

This volume explores how emergent patterns of complex syntax – that is,
syntactic structures beyond a simple clause – relate to the local
contingencies of action formation in social interaction. It examines both the
on-line emergence of clause-combining patterns as they are ‘patched together’
on the fly, as well as their routinization and sedimentation into new
grammatical patterns across a range of languages – English, Estonian, Finnish,
French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Mandarin, and Swedish.

The chapters investigate how the real-time organization of complex syntax
relates to the unfolding of turns and actions, focusing on: (i) how complex
syntactic patterns, or routinized fragments of ‘canonical’ patterns, serve as
resources for projection, (ii) how complex syntactic patterns emerge
incrementally, moment-by-moment, out of the real-time trajectories of action,
(iii) how formal variants of such patterns relate to social action, and (iv)
how all of these play out within the multimodal ecologies of action formation.

The empirical findings presented in this volume lend support to a conception
of syntax as fundamentally temporal, emergent, dialogic, sensitive to local
interactional contingencies, and interwoven with other semiotic resources.
