Recenzje

'This monograph evidently carries massive implications for research into grammar and linguistic structure since it broadens the notion of grammar and provides an alternative approach to it, enabling researchers to investigate the emergent grammar of speech from an integrated perspective, differing from the monolithic, 'fixed-code' and sentence based approach to language and grammar through which grammar has been described and analysed. The book is also of immense significance to academics in discourse studies, a field where spontaneous spoken language data have become the mainstream research objects.'
