explanations. 2 vols. set.

This book is the second of the two-volume collection of papers on 
formulaic language. The collection is among the first in the field. 
The authors of the papers in this volume represent a diverse group of 
international scholars in linguistics and psychology. The language 
data analyzed come from a variety of languages, including Arabic, 
Japanese, Polish, and Spanish, and include analyses of styles and 
genres within these languages. While the first volume focuses on the 
very definition of linguistic formulae and on their grammatical, 
semantic, stylistic, and historical aspects, the second volume 
explores how formulae are acquired and lost by speakers of a 
language, in what way they are psychologically real, and what their 
functions in discourse are. Since most of the papers are readily 
accessible to readers with only basic familiarity with linguistics, 
the book may be used in courses on discourse structure, pragmatics, 
semantics, language acquisition, and syntax, as well as being a 
resource in linguistic research.
