    Studies in Emergent Grammar.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The study of language on the basis of natural conversations has led many linguists to a reassessment of the nature and role of grammatical structure. One aspect of this reassessment has been attention to the emergence of grammatical form as it unfolds in conversational interactions. During my stay at FRIAS in May and June 2013 I will be continuing my research on Emergent Grammar, with particular attention to the English demonstrative pronouns from the point of view of Auer’s theory of on-line syntax.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
