Abstract:

One of the key challenges in linguistics is to account for the link
between linguistic knowledge and our use of language in a way that is
both descriptively accurate and cognitively plausible. This pioneering
book addresses these challenges by combining insights from
Construction Grammar and Relevance Theory, two influential approaches
which until now have been considered incompatible. After a clear and
detailed presentation of both theories, the author demonstrates that
their integration is possible, and explains why this integration is
necessary, in order to understand exactly how meaning comes about. A
new theoretical model is offered that provides ground-breaking
insights into the semantics-pragmatic interface, and addresses a
variety of topics including the nature of lexical and grammatical
concepts, procedural meaning, coercion and idiom processing. This
title is part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be available
Open Access. Check our website Cambridge Core for details.
