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-Joerg 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.0The book
is exceptionally broad in scope, with insights from a wide range of linguistic subdisciplines.
It provides a coherent account of the role of multiple factors that influence language
structure, variation, and change, including frequency, economy, identity, multilingualism,
and language contact
