Abstract:

A new, thought-provoking book on the theory of grammar and language
processing, based on the analysis of authentic speech produced in real time.
Drawing on insights from cognitive psychology, neurology and conversation
analysis, the author offers a fascinating, easy-to-follow account of why
spoken English is structured the way it is. The traditional product-based
approach to grammar is given up in favour of a speaker-based, dynamic
perspective that integrates language-structural, neurocognitive and dialogic
aspects of speech production. Based on fresh empirical research Haselow argues
that grammatical knowledge rests upon two cognitive principles of
linearization called 'microgrammar' and 'macrogrammar', which are shown to
interact in various ways. The book discusses a broad range of speech phenomena
under an integrated framework, such as the omnipresence of 'unintegrated'
constituents (e.g. discourse markers), ellipses, or the allegedly 'fragmented'
character of syntax, and explains the mechanisms of processing efficiency that
guide syntactic planning.

1. Introduction; 2. Toward an interfield approach to the study of spontaneous
