Abstract:

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.<p>

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.
