Der Band umfasst Beiträge u.a. zu folgenden Schwerpunkten:empirische Untersuchungen zu textgrammatischen und syntaktischen Phänomenen in den älteren Sprachstufen des Deutschen aus diachroner und/oder synchroner Perspektive; aktuelle Entwicklungen in historischer Grammatikarbeit; Anforderungen an ein zeitgemäßes Beschreibungsinstrumentarium für den sprachhistorischen Kontext; Texttypologien und ihre Bedeutung für diachrone Untersuchungen in Textgrammatik und Syntax; Referenzstrukturen und ihre Bedeutung für eine Historische Syntax; die Bedeutung von Textmusterbildungen in der sprachhistorischen Analyse. Die Publikation soll insgesamt dazu beitragen, die Relevanz der Grammatikforschung für die Anforderungen einer zeitgemäßen Sprachgeschichtsforschung im Spannungsfeld zwischen Syntax, Morphosyntax, Textgrammatik und Pragmatik zu konturieren und etablierte Auffassungen zur Grammatikarbeit mit aktuellen Problemen zu konfrontieren. Insofern soll auch ein Beitrag zu einer systematischen Historischen Grammatik des Deutschen einschließlich ihrer methodischen Umsetzung geboten werden, so dass der Sammelband auch geeignet scheint, als Referenzwerk im Hinblick auf spezifische Fragen syntaktischer und textgrammatischer Arbeit in der Sprachgeschichtsforschung zu fungieren.

Grounded primarily in the ethnography of communication and aligned with the multidisciplinarity of discourse analysis, the book examines the use of proverbs in the daily life of a social network of Mexican-origin transnational families in Chicago and Michoacán, Mexico. Various and detailed analyses of actual proverb use reveal that proverbs in this particular population function as a highly contextualized communicative strategy that serves four discrete social functions: to argue, to advise, to establish rapport, and to entertain. Proposing that the social and cognitive aspects of language use must be combined for a complete understanding of how such genres of language are actually used by regular people in daily life, the author shows how ordinary people use sophisticated cognitive processes to interpret the socially-relevant meanings of proverbs in everyday conversation. The book provides an unusual mix of contextualized discourse analysis that is ethnographic, linguistic, and cognitive, yielding much needed insight into a segment of the Mexican-origin population of the Midwestern U.S., a population whose increasing importance and size is often mentioned, but about which precious few linguistic studies have been conducted. The volume not only helps to fill this void but it is also one of the few studies that focuses on the impact of transnationalism on linguistic practices, regardless of cultural group. Departing from the conventional approach of ignoring the role of everyday-language use in order to focus exclusively on culture, economics, or migrant patterns, the book makes linguistic practice the central issue, and thus affirms that it is language that weaves together the two distant sites of transnational communities, providing a fertile area for understanding the perspectives of the transmigrants themselves.

This volume presents a comprehensive look at the phenomenon of formulaic language (multi-word units believed to be mentally stored and retrieved as single units) and its role in fluent speech production.  Focusing on second language speech, the book provides an overview of research into the role of formulaic language in fluency, details a study which provides evidence of that role, and outlines teaching plans and strategies to foster it.  This important area has not been examined in such depth and scope before, and this work has many implications for future research and language pedagogy.  It will appeal to researchers in discourse analysis and second language acquisition.
