Why our use of language is highly creative yet also constrained We use words and phrases creatively to express ourselves in ever-changing contexts, readily extending language constructions in new ways. Yet native speakers also implicitly know when a creative and easily interpretable formulation—such as “Explain me this” or “She considered to go”—doesn’t sound quite right. In this incisive book, Adele Goldberg explores how these creative but constrained language skills emerge from a combination of general cognitive mechanisms and experience. Shedding critical light on an enduring linguistic paradox, Goldberg demonstrates how words and abstract constructions are generalized and constrained in the same ways. When learning language, we record partially abstracted tokens of language within the high-dimensional conceptual space that is used when we speak or listen. Our implicit knowledge of language includes dimensions related to form, function, and social context. At the same time, abstract memory traces of linguistic usage-events cluster together on a subset of dimensions, with overlapping aspects strengthened via repetition. In this way, dynamic categories that correspond to words and abstract constructions emerge from partially overlapping memory traces, and as a result, distinct words and constructions compete with one another each time we select them to express our intended messages. While much of the research on this puzzle has favored semantic or functional explanations over statistical ones, Goldberg’s approach stresses that both the functional and statistical aspects of constructions emerge from the same learning mechanisms.

A young man, Stephen Roth, is the only child of a single mother, Rachel Roth, and the victim of a high school hazing that results in his death. A middle-aged gentleman, John, became more of a father figure. Believing that the boy's mother had entrusted Stephen to his care and he had failed to protect her son, John takes himself to task over this. His obsession over this causes him to go without sleep for several days. On Mother's Day weekend, he visits a mall to buy a sympathy card for Rachel. He happens upon a kiosk selling beads and rosaries. He engages in a back and forth with the proprietor over the appropriateness of rosaries used as a fashion statement rather than objects of prayerful devotion. Exhausted from self-recrimination and lack of sleep, he settles into a mall lounge chair. He falls into a deep sleep. In a series of dreams corresponding to the mysteries of the rosary, he finds himself on a biblical quest to find the young man and his mother to warn them and save the young man from his fate. What if your dreams could transport you to a time and place where all your guilt, insecurities, and self-doubt could be resolved once and for all? Would you make that journey even if it brought you to the foot of Calvary itself? It happened to John. Journey with John as he discovers his own portal to self-redemption and discovers hope.

Fifteen-year-old Erin Angelica Delessandri is a typical high school cheerleader except for one thing: in addition to the normal pressures of being a teenager, she is a child living in an alcoholic family. At home, she's the target of her father's alcoholic rage and is always on edge, never knowing when the yelling will start. Her father's harsh treatment also leads Erin to harbor the vague notion that she's "irresponsible" and "worthless". At school Erin gets caught up in the party scene with a crew called "The Pack". She becomes romantically involved with an older Pack member named Dwane. After Dwane is accused of a gang-related murder, Erin's brother Joey, who is also a member of The Pack, forbids Erin from seeing Dwane. But the evidence suggests that it's Joey, not Dwane, who pulled the trigger. While the drama unfolds at school, Erin's family disintegrates before her eyes. Her mom, upset at the prospect of a failed marriage, becomes depressed and withdrawn. And Erin's little sisters share a secret-a killer secret that must be exposed and dealt with before someone dies.
