One Girl And Her Dogs : Life, Love and Lambing in the Middle of Nowhere

This volume aims at analyzing the relationship between the dialogical accomplishment of spoken talk-in-interaction on the one hand and entrenched patterns of linguistic and socio-cultural knowledge (constructions, frames, and communicative genres) on the other. The contributions share a usage-based perspective on linguistic structure and meaning and address linguistic patterns in different languages such as English, French, German, and Swedish.
