Abstract:

Humans are adaptive beings. Gradually, we have produced the fundamental
capacities for our cooperation, recognition of intentions, and interaction
which led to the development of language and culture. The present collective
volume builds on an orientation to pragmatics as the sustained and principled
human adaptability in interaction, form, and meaning. Working on different
strands of such a socially oriented pragmatics, the authors gathered in this
volume study the adaptability of language as shaped by the conditions of
society, culture, and cognition. Grouped in four sections, the book’s chapters
explore the embedding of adaptability in language ideology, text,
communicative practice, and learning. Adopting these various perspectives, the
authors gauge how language users navigate the different layers of societal,
cognitive, and communicative constraints, while adapting their communicative
practices, language ideologies, and technologies of interaction to their
everyday living conditions.
