[(Interaction and Grammar)] [Author: Elinor Ochs] published on

Studies in Interactional Sociolinguistics #13

by Elinor Ochs

Many scholars of language have accepted a view of grammar as a clearly delineated and internally coherent structure which is best understood as a self-contained system. The contributors to this volume propose a very different way of approaching and understanding grammar, taking it as part of a broader range of systems which underlie the organization of social life and emphasizing its role in the use of language in everyday interaction and cognition.
