Sommario/riassunto: | This authoritative handbook explores the latest integrated theory for understanding human language, offering the most inclusive text yet published on the rapidly evolving emergentist paradigm. <ul> <li>Brings together an international team of contributors, including the most prominent advocates of linguistic emergentism</li> <li>Focuses on the ways in which the learning, processing, and structure of language emerge from a competing set of cognitive, communicative, and biological constraints</li> <li>Examines forces on widely divergent timescales, from instantaneous neurolinguistic processing |
