This book presents a radical reconceptualization of the nature of linguistic        knowledge. John Taylor challenges the conventional notion that a language can be        understood in terms of the interaction of syntax with a lexicon, the second listing        the words and the first the rules for combining them. He proposes instead that an        individual's knowledge of a language can be thought of as a repository of memories        of linguistic experience. Each encounter with the language, he argues, leaves atrace        in our minds. We record the forms of utterances, the concepts and interpretations        associated with them, and the contexts in which they were heard or seen. Features of        incoming language - a word, a phrase, a meaning, a voice quality, an interactional        situation - resonate with items alreadystored. Similarities between stored items        give rise to generalizations of varying degrees of certainty and precision, which in        turn are able to sanction new and innovative expressions.John Taylor writes with        conviction, clarity, and wit, illustrating every stage of his argument with        arresting examples. His account makes a profound and original contribution to        understanding the nature of language and the operations of the mind and brain. His        book will appeal in equal measure to linguists, philosophers, and cognitive        scientists.
