{"product_id":"the-interactive-stance-9780198722991","title":"The Interactive Stance","description":"This book presents one of the first attempts at developing a precise, grammatically rooted, theory of conversation motivated by data from real conversations. The theory has descriptive reach from the micro-conversational -- e.g. self-repair at the word level -- to macro-level phenomena such as\u003cbr\u003emulti-party conversation and the characterization of distinct conversational genres. It draws on extensive corpus studies of the British National Corpus, on evidence from language acquisition, and on computer simulations of language evolution. The theory provides accounts of the opening, middle\u003cbr\u003egame, and closing stages of conversation. It also offers a new perspective on traditional semantic concerns such as quantification and anaphora. \u003cem\u003eThe Interactive Stance\u003c\/em\u003e challenges orthodox views of grammar by arguing that, unless we wish to exclude from analysis a large body of frequently occurring\u003cbr\u003ewords and constructions, the right way to construe grammar is as a system that characterizes types of talk in interaction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Ginzburg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198722991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJonathan Ginzburg \u003c\/strong\u003ehas held appointments at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and King's College, London.
