The Grammar of the Utterance: How to Do Things with Ibero-Romance by Alice Corr

Description: The Grammar of the Utterance by Alice Corr Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book explores conversational units of language - vocatives, interjections, particles, and illocutionary complementizers - in Ibero-Romance languages. It draws on naturalistic data and elicited judgements to offer new insights into colloquial grammar and morphosyntactic variation in Romance and into the organization of grammar more broadly. Publisher Description This book examines how speakers of Ibero-Romance do things with conversational units of language, paying particular attention to what they do with i) vocatives, interjections, and particles; and ii) illocutionary complementizers, items that look like subordinators but behave differently. Alice Corr argues that the behaviour of these conversation-oriented items provides insight into how language-as-grammar builds the universe of discourse. The approach identifiesthe underlying unity in how different Ibero-Romance languages, alongside their Romance cousins and Latin ancestors, use grammar to refer - i.e. to connect our inner world to the one outside - and theempirical arguments are underpinned by the philosophical position that the configurational architecture of grammar also configures the architecture of the mind. The book thus builds on existing work on the syntax of discourse not only by contributing new empirical and theoretical insights, but also by pursuing explanatory adequacy via a so-called un-Cartesian grammar of reference. In so doing, it formalizes the intuition that language users do things not with words, but with grammar. Drawingon a wealth of naturalistic data from social media and online corpora, augmented by elicited introspective judgements, The Grammar of the Utterance offers new insights into the colloquial grammar andmorphosyntactic variation of (Ibero-)Romance, and showcases the utility of comparative work on this language family in advancing our empirical and conceptual understanding of the organization of grammar. Author Biography Alice Corr is Assistant Professor in the Department of Modern Languages, University of Birmingham, where she specializes in the comparative morphosyntax, dialectology, and history of the Romance languages. She was previously Drapers Company Research Fellow at Pembroke College, and Lumley Bye-Fellow in Linguistics at Magdalene College, University of Cambridge. Focusing on non-standard synchronic and historical variation in varieties originating in the (Western)Iberian Peninsula, her research seeks to reconcile theoretical and empirical work in this area with conceptual insight drawn from outside conventional disciplinary boundaries. She is co-editor, with AnnaPineda, of Theoretical Linguistics in the Pre-University Classroom (OUP, forthcoming).
