In this article we outline the main theoretical issues in the field and trace the developmental path children follow from talking in single-unit 'holophrases' to using complex, abstract constructions. We describe the development of children's initial skills with word order, case marking, and morphology as abstract elements in early constructions, and we discuss the level of abstraction characteristic of young children's grammatical constructions at different stages of development and in some different languages of the world. Finally, we consider the learning processes that enable young children both to acquire and to abstract across grammatical constructions.}, Doi = {10.1016/B978-012370877-9.00073-6}, Key = {fds285965} } @article{fds305305, Author = {Baron, D}, Title = {Grammar and Good Taste}, Journal = {Yale Up, 1982; South Atlantic Quarterly}, Pages = {471-72}, Year = {2014}, Month = {April}, Key = {fds305305} } @article{fds285984, Author = {Butters, RR and Fishman, JA}, Title = {Handbook of Language and Ethnic Identity}, Journal = {Language}, Volume = {76}, Number = {4}, Pages = {921-921}, Publisher = {JSTOR}, Year = {2000}, Month = {December}, ISSN = {0097-8507}, url = {http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000166585500006&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=47d3190e77e5a3a53558812f597b0b92}, Doi = {10.2307/417204}, Key = {fds285984} } @article{fds285952, Author = {Butters, RR}, Title = {Highlighter: A Legally Generic Name?}, Journal = {American Speech}, Volume = {65}, Pages = {340-340}, Year = {1990}, Key = {fds285952} } @article{fds285960, Author = {Butters, RR}, Title = {Historical and Contemporary Distribution of Double Modals in English}, Pages = {265-88}, Booktitle = {FOCUS ON: The United States.

School officials argued that the inscription was "inappropriate for school attire" because it is "vulgar," "derives from a sexual connotation of oral-genital contact," and hence is potentially disruptive to the maintenance of order in school. The child’s parents sued, insisting that the shirt contained a valuable message of critical importance and that the vernacular language was not "vulgar" but simply contemporary slang which conveyed the message in a powerful fashion to an otherwise quite impervious audience. The case presents a complex of problems in semiotics, pragmatics, semantics, and historical linguistics. Most speakers of American English today know that "X Sucks!" has a primary colloquial meaning "X is bad." However, many speakers also attach secondary meanings and even putative etymologies to the slang phrase–usually connected to fellatio–which some of them may find deeply offensive; yet (unlike the Norfolk school officials) they have no difficulty accepting the phrase and even using it themselves. The paper demonstrates (a). that the etymological connection between "X Sucks!" and fellatio is largely a folk etymology; and (b). that contemporary connotations of fellatio for "X Sucks!" are foregrounded only when the specific issue of putative etymology is raised, thus allowing speakers to accept a phrase that they might otherwise find inappropriate.}, Key = {fds285971} } @proceedings{fds16886, Title = {“What Is About to Take Place Is a Murder": Construing the Racist Subtext in a Small-Town Virginia Courtroom}, Booktitle = {Language in Action: New Studies of Language and Society}, Publisher = {Hampton}, Editor = {Peg Griffin and Joy Peyton and Walt Wolfram and Ralph Fasold}, Year = {2000}, Key = {fds16886} } %% Book Reviews @article{fds6511, Author = {Walter M.
