Åfarli NTNU Trondheim https://ror.org/05xg72x27 Brit Mæhlum NTNU Trondheim https://ror.org/05xg72x27 The aim of this book is to investigate and attain new insights on how and to what extent the wider sociolinguistic context of language use and contact impinges on formal grammatical structures. The papers contained in the book approach this important problem from various points of view by focusing on language evolution and change, on multilingualism, language mixing and dialect variation, on spoken language, and on creole languages. Given the theoretical perspectives, methodological focus, and analyses, the book will be of interest to theoretical linguists as well as sociolinguists, from undergraduate students to researchers. 154 4 16 2014 4 18 2014 9789027259196 9789027270511 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam 10.1075/slcs.154 http://www.jbe-platform.com/content/books/9789027270511 https://www.jbe-platform.com/deliver/fulltext/9789027270511.pdf https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/slcs.154/html Steffen Höder https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5129-3443 Grammatical organisation in bilingual groups From a global and historical perspective, multilingualism or at least multilectalism is the rule rather than the exception. However, linguistic theory continues to focus on the idea of a prototypically coherent, static, and monolingual language system. A more realistic approach can set out from the notion of ‘diasystems’, i.e. linguistic systems including more than one variety. Apart from being theoretical constructs, diasystems are also an important component of multilectal speakers’ linguistic knowledge. Within a usage-based construction grammar approach, this paper argues that multilectal speakers (re-)organise their grammars by generalisation over individual constructions and across language boundaries. Therefore, the multilectal system can be modelled as an inventory of constructions that are partly language-specific and partly unspecified for language. 4 16 2014 4 18 2014 137 152 10.1075/slcs.154.07hod https://benjamins.com/catalog/slcs.154.07hod https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1075/slcs.154.07hod/html 10.1017/S002222670600418X Grammars in Contact.
