  • Construction Grammar

    by Thomas Hoffmann ...
    Series series Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics
    What do speakers of a language have to know, and what can they 'figure out' on the basis of that knowledge, in order for them to use their language successfully?

  • Creative Construction Grammar

    by Thomas Hoffmann, Mark Turner ...
    Series series Elements in Cognitive Linguistics
    Constructions are long-term pairings in memory of form and meaning. How are they created and learned, how do they change, and how do they combine into new utterances (constructs, communicative performances) in working memory? Drawing on evidence from word-formation (blending, Noun-Noun-compounds) over idioms and argument structure constructions to multimodal communication, we argue that ... Read more

    by Thomas Hoffmann ...
    Series series Elements in World Englishes

  • English Comparative Correlatives

    Diachronic and Synchronic Variation at the Lexicon-Syntax Interface

    by Thomas Hoffmann ...
    Series series Studies in English Language
    One of the most intriguing features of languages is that speakers can produce novel grammatical utterances that they have never heard before. Consequently, most linguists agree that the mental grammars of speakers are complex systems that must be more abstract than the input they are exposed to. Yet, linguists differ as to how general and abstract speakers' mental representations have to be to ... Read more

    Edited by Jörn Reinhardt, Marion Albers, Thomas Hoffmann ...
    Series series Law and Criminology (R0)
    This book explores both the possibilities and limits of arguments from human nature in the context of human rights.

Or does the idea of human rights in its modern, post-1945 manifestation go, in essence, ... Read more

    A Usage-based Approach

    by Thomas Hoffmann ...
