| Resumo: | This insightful study proposes a unified theory of speech through which
conflicting ideas about language might be understood. It is founded on a
number of key points, such as the continuum of linguistic behavior, extensive
variation in language features, the importance of regional and social proximity
to shared linguistic production, and differential frequency as a key factor in
linguistic production both in regional and social groups and in text corpora.
The study shows how this new linguistics of speech does not reject rules in
favor of language use, or reject language use in favor of rules; rather, it shows
how rules can come from language as people use it. Written in a clear,
engaging style and containing invaluably accessible introductions to complex
theoretical concepts, this work will be of great interest to students and scholars
of sociolinguistics, dialectology, and corpus linguistics. |
