Abstract:

This volume outlines a model of language that can be characterized as
functionalist, usage-based, dynamic, and complex-adaptive. The core idea is
that linguistic structure is not stable and uniform, but continually refreshed
by the interaction between three components: usage, the communicative
activities of speakers; conventionalization, the social processes triggered by
these activities and feeding back into them; and entrenchment, the individual
cognitive processes that are also linked to these activities in a feedback
loop. Hans-Jorg Schmid explains how this multiple feedback system works by
extending his Entrenchment-and-Conventionalization Model, showing how the
linguistic system is created, sustained, and continually adapted by the
ongoing interaction between usage, conventionalization, and entrenchment.
Fulfilling the promise of usage-based accounts, the model explains how exactly
usage is transformed into collective and individual grammar and how these two
grammars in turn feed back into usage.
