For most of the 20th century, the dominant view within linguistics, particularly propagated by generative grammar, was that language use and language structure were independent of each other and could be described separately, but with the appearance of functional-cognitive approaches, it began to be argued that language must be understood basically as a communicative and cognitive phenomenon and language structure can thus only be understood in terms of cognitive and social-communicative restrictions on language use. In light of this development, this volume presents 11 papers investigating theoretical and methodological aspects of the relationship between language use and language structure from different theoretical perspectives. They are contained in sections devoted to the case of clausal complementation in the relationship between usage and structure; the emergence of structure from usage; structure, usage, and variation; and methodology.
