Linguistics faces a significant challenge in understanding the relationship between linguistic knowledge and language usage, aiming for a descriptive and cognitively plausible explanation. This groundbreaking book tackles this challenge by integrating insights from Construction Grammar and Relevance Theory, two influential approaches previously considered incompatible. Through a comprehensive and detailed presentation of both theories, the author demonstrates their compatibility and explains why their integration is crucial for understanding the emergence of meaning. A novel theoretical model is presented, offering groundbreaking insights into the semantics-pragmatic interface. It addresses various topics such as the nature of lexical and grammatical concepts, procedural meaning, coercion, and idiom processing. This title is part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be available Open Access. For more details, please visit Cambridge Core's website.
