In Other Words: Variation in Reference and Narrative - Studies in Interactional Sociolinguistics
Schiffrin, Deborah (Georgetown University, Washington DC)
This book explores two important tasks of language - presenting 'who' we are talking about and 'what happened' in a narrative - and how this alters according to emergent forms and meanings. Using a range of examples, it shows how words, structures and meanings are re-used in new contexts for new listeners.
