This chapter examines the distinction between conservational and entrenchment models of generalization in relation to rules and decision making. The result indicates that under- and over-inclusive generalizations under the conversational model are applicable to most cases, but they are not as flexible under the entrenchment model. The findings also indicate that rule-based decision making can consequently be considered as a form of decision making where entrenched generalizations provide reasons for decision qua generalizations.Less

This chapter provides an introduction to the book. It formulates the goal to understand how usage, society, and mind interact to shape the linguistic system and to control its persistence, variation, and change. The chapter provides a first sketch of the Entrenchment-and-Conventionalization Model (EC-Model) and explains its basic components and the ways in which they work and interact. The chapter situates the model in the linguistic landscape by formulating the prediction that language is usage-based, emergentist, based on function and interaction, based on domain-general cognition, cognitive, sociocognitive, social, dynamic, and complex-adaptive. The terms ‘conventionalization’, ‘usualization’, ‘diffusion’, ‘entrenchment’, ‘routinization’, and ‘schematization’ are defined.Less
