'… this book represents an illuminating interdisciplinary study that broadens the perspective of linguistic analysis by considering not only the context of an individual interaction, but also the cognitive mechanisms that give rise to the emergent grammar of spontaneous speech. Without doubt, this book can be used as a good reference book for students and researchers who are interested in interactional linguistics and cognitive linguistics.' Haiping Wu, Journal of Pragmatics
