Overview

The book introduces the concept of intertextual memory into the domain of linguistic theory. All new facts of speech are grounded in the speakers' memory of previous experiences of using language. The new meaning is shown to be always superscribed on the familiar and recognizable, as its more or less radical alteration.

Synopsis

The series welcomes publications addressing the state of the art of linguistics as a whole or of specific subfields, and publications that offer challenging new approaches to linguistics.&;lt;BR&;gt;&;lt;BR&;gt;The book introduces the concept of intertextual memory into the domain of linguistic theory.
