Abstract:

"Grammar in Action: Building comprehensive grammars of
talk-in-interaction" investigates the possibility of writing
comprehensive grammars of languages based on analyses of interaction.
The volume combines two traditions in language studies that have
hitherto been separate: Interactional Linguistics, which analyzes
instances of language use in naturally occurring interactions, and
Descriptive Grammars, which describe the grammatical regularities of
languages. The authors are skilled researchers in Interactional
Linguistics. They analyze interactional phenomena in Danish, English,
Finnish, French, German, Italian and Swedish, making concrete
proposals about how grammatical phenomena might be described in a
comprehensive interactional grammar. The volume also proposes
solutions to problems that an interactional grammar faces, for
instance, the written language bias, the role of prosody and the body
in the grammar, how to approach different target audiences, and how a
web-based grammar could be useful for rendering the complexities of
grammar in interaction.
