The first edited volume dedicated to usage-based theory in linguistics, an essential reference work for this exciting area of researchOver the past three decades, usage-based theories of language development and acquisition have challenged long-held beliefs about language, particularly the concept of universal grammar. Usage-based research in linguistics--with data derived from interdisciplinary studies in sociolinguistics, historical linguistics, experimental linguistics, corpus linguistics, psycholinguistics, and other subfields--indicates that grammar and usage are intricately connected.The Handbook of Usage-Based Linguistics is the first volume of its kind to offer a comprehensive, authoritative, and interdisciplinary view of the application of usage-based theory to linguistics and language study. Bringing together an international panel of established and emerging scholars in this rapidly evolving field, this unprecedented work of scholarship provides timely coverage of all key theoretical and methodological aspects of usage-based linguistics. In-depth essays offer diverse perspectives on theory, history, and methodology while examining phonology, morphosyntax, psycholinguistics, language variation and change, language development, and more. This volume:* Offers valuable insights into usage-based theory in many languages and across disciplines* Addresses usage-based linguistics in the contexts of a broad range of linguistic subfields, such as anthropological linguistics and cognitive linguistics* Discusses up-to-date methodologies, emerging approaches, new technologies, and cutting-edge research in usage-based linguistics* The first volume of its kind, covering the conceptual underpinnings, historical foundations, and future of usage-based theoryThe Handbook of Usage-Based Linguistics is an indispensable resource for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and scholars in anthropological linguistics, psycholinguistics, cognitive linguistics, corpus analysis, and other subfields of linguistics.

This Handbook provides a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of theoretical and descriptive research in contemporary Hispanic sociolinguistics.
