Abstract:

Taking a unique approach which combines sociolinguistics with theoretical
linguistics, this book presents a view of language and grammar as both a
cognitive and socio-cultural phenomena.

Beginning with Bakhtin's theories of conceptual grammar and lexico-grammar,
this book encompasses a broad philosophical range, engaging with the ideas of
key figures such as Bergson, Chomsky, Derrida and Wittgenstein. Drawing on
their work, it investigates how language progresses from an inner reflection
of the rational mind to develop social and ideological aspects as it interacts
with culture. In doing so, it shows how identity is unitary and rational at
the linguistic core whilst multiple social identities are simultaneously
shaped by linguistic differences at the cultural peripheries.<p>

Encompassing theoretical linguistics, cognitive linguistics, discourse
analysis, multilingualism, sociolinguistics and semiotics, "Rationality and
Interpretation" demonstrates how the different branches of linguistics can
complement each other and highlights the socio-cultural influences of language
development, as well as how language development is shaped by those
influences.
