The Dynamics of the Linguistic System: Usage, Conventionalization, and Entrenchment
Schmid, Hans-Jorg (Full Professor of English Linguistics, Full Professor of English Linguistics, Ludwig Maximilians University, Munich)
This book offers a model of language that can be characterized as functionalist, usage-based, dynamic, and complex-adaptive. Schmid argues that linguistic structure is not stable, but continually refreshed by usage, conventionalization, and entrenchment. This wide-ranging volume will be of interest to linguists from a wide range of fields.
