Elastic Language: How and Why We Stretch our Words
Zhang, Grace Q. (Curtin University of Technology, Perth)
Language is like a slingshot, stretching for various communicative targets. Using fascinating natural language data to support a new theory of elasticity, Elastic Language reveals the art of purposive and powerful language stretching. An invaluable text for students and researchers working in pragmatics, applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, and communication.
