Formulaic Language, Vol. 1: Distribution and historical change (Typological Studies in Language)
Formulaic Language, Vol. 1: Distribution and historical change (Typological Studies in Language) Summary:By Roberta Corrigan, Edith A. Moravcsik, Hamid Ouali, Kathleen M. Wheatley
This two-volume collection presents revised versions of a selection of papers from the 25th UWM Linguistics Symposium on Formulaic Language, held on April 18–21, 2007 at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. To our knowledge, it was one of the first conferences specifically devoted to this topic. We are grateful to Joan Bybee, who suggested the topic for this conference, and to Michael Noonan, who took primary responsibility for organizing it. We gratefully acknowledge the funds provided by various units of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee – the Department of English, the Department of Foreign Languages and Linguistics, the Center for International Education, and the College of Letters and Science – as well as those that came from royalties derived from the Benjamins’ book series “Typological Studies in Language” due to the generosity of the editors of the previous volumes of this series and of Cornelis Vaes of John Benjamins. Heart-felt thanks also to our colleagues, students, and office staff for their invaluable help in putting on this event. The indices were prepared by Deborah Mulvaney. We are grateful to her for her work performed under difficult conditions. This preface and the introductory paper to follow are included in both volumes.
