Abstract:

The contributions to this volume honor Joan Bybee’s 2005 LSA Presidential
address “Grammar is Usage and Usage is Grammar,” as a cumulative articulation
of Professor Bybee's long and influential career in linguistics. The volume
begins with a functional examination of child language acquisition of ergative
languages. The next three contributions successively investigate the
grammaticalization of Greek postural verbs, Spanish third person pronouns, and
American Sign Language topicalization constructions. The two following papers
report on usage-based phonological studies of Spanish /s/ and /d/,
respectively. The book concludes with four papers that address usage-based
effects concerning the grammatical status of "ain’t" in African American
English, Spanish verbs of “becoming”, and English lexis and prefabs. This
volume will be of interest to a wide audience of functional and cognitive
linguistic researchers.
