OverviewThis work provides rich discussions of linguistic phenomena explained in terms of the actions that participants are engaged in when they are interacting. These linguistic phenomena include discourse particles, connectives and complementizers, adpositions, the internal structure of clauses and phrases, word order, interrogation, constituency, deixis, negation, languages acquisition and prosody. In each case the researchers show, with careful empirical argumentation, that these are emergent phenomena, dependent on and shaped by not just the context in which they occur, but more specifically by the actions which the speakers are undertaking with their talk.
