%0 Journal Article %A Martí Sánchez, Manuel %T Bases para una gramática emergente y situada %D 2004 %@ 1697-0780 %U http://hdl.handle.net/10017/24641 %X This article has been written as a reply to several very important questions: what is grammar? What is it for? How does it work? The answer leads us to postulate a grammar for linguistic use, a grammar based on evolutionary psychology. This proposal means an emerging grammar (paying attention to grammaticalization) which is also pragmatically located (communicative variables are taken into account; mainly the speaker and listener intentions). Grammar's abstract dimension (constituent norms) and located dimension (regulative norms) get joined by conceiving grammar as an unstable structure made up of a set of choices which allows the speakers to adapt themselves not only to the current context requirements but also to the new context demands. %K Elecciones %K Variación %K Gramaticalización %K Construcción %K Gramática emergente %K Intenciones comunicativas %K Psicología evolutiva %K Gramática %K Choices %K Variation %K Grammaticalization %K Construction %K Emergent grammar %K Intentions %K Communication %K Evolutionary Psychology %K Grammar %K Humanidades %K Humanities %K Lingüística %K Linguistics %~ Biblioteca Universidad de Alcala
