Abstract:
When humans learn languages, are they also learning how to create shared
meaning? In The Usage-based Study of Language Learning and Multilingualism, a
cadre of international experts say yes and offer cutting-edge research in
usage-based linguistics to explore how language acquisition, in particular
multilingual language acquisition, works.
Each chapter presents an original study that supports the view that language
learning is initiated through local and meaningful communication with others.
Over an accumulated history of such usage, people gradually create more
abstract, interactive schematic representations, or a mental grammar. This
process of acquiring language is the same for infants and adults and across
varied contexts, such as the family, the classroom, the laboratory, a
hospital, or a public encounter. Employing diverse methodologies to study this
process, the contributors here work with target languages, including
Cantonese, English, French, French Sign Language, German, Hebrew, Malay,
Mandarin, Spanish, and Swedish, and offer a much-needed exploration of this
growing area of linguistic research.
