Dualistic Approaches to Language and Cognition. The aim of the workshop was to bring together researchers from different research fields to discuss evidence for and against dualistic approaches to linguistic structure, language processing and cog- nition. We are greatly indebted to all the participants of this workshop, both the speakers for their presentations and the members of the audience for the stimulat- ing and constructive discussions. The written versions of the papers have gone through a selective peer-review- ing process with each chapter having been reviewed anonymously by two referees as well as the editors. We would like to thank the contributors for their patience and excellent cooperation in the reviewing process and we are extremely grateful to all the external reviewers for their time and expertise, namely Karin Aijmer, Mathieu Avanzi, Laurel Brinton, Andreas Buerki, Ludivine Crible, Liesbeth Degand, Lachlan McKenzie, Günther Radden, Nikolaus Ritt, Stefan Schneider, Elizabeth Traugott, Alison Wray, Vitor Zimmerer. We also wish to thank the series editors Klaus-Uwe Panther and Linda L. Thornburg and Benjamins publishers for their support and the opportunity to publish this book in the Human Cognitive Processing: Cognitive Foundations of Language Structure and Use Series. Finally, special thanks goes to Gerlinde Trinkl for her invaluable help with formatting and proof-reading of the manuscript.

Introduction: Two traditions of grammatical research Grammar researchers are not primarily concerned with what happens in the minds or brains of language users but rather with ‘evidenced language behavior’: in the study of grammar, the linguist attempts to understand and explain the struc- tures in language using ‘off-line’ data coming from introspection (e.g. intuitions on grammaticality), elicitation experiments, or the analysis of either written records of language or transcripts of spoken language. This information may then be used to speculate on possible mental and neural correlates of grammar, but they do so indirectly, through the process of inference. In contrast, cognitive and neuroimag- ing approaches access these cognitive and neurological data more directly by using ‘online’ brain measurements or behavioral patterns, which provide immediate ac- cess to the underlying cognitive and neural processes involved in the production and processing of language. This volume intends to bring both research traditions together, based on our conviction that each approach can enrich and fertilize the other: results deriv- ing from off-line, product-based data can provide important theoretical under- pinnings relevant for investigations into the underlying neurocognitive processes, and the study of neurocognitive processes can show how and why the ‘products’ have the shape they do under the processing constraints inherent in participants. In this respect, we follow other, more recent lines of research on modelling gram- mar which exhibit an increasing reorientation from pure theory-internal toward cognition-based approaches (e.g. Chafe 1994; Auer 2009; Boye and Harder 2012; Heine et al. 2017; Ullman 2015; Haselow 2017; Heine 2019; Boye and Bastiaanse 2018). Such approaches come in different guises, ranging from memory-based accounts of linguistic structure and language processing (e.g. Roll et al. 2013; https://doi.org/10.1075/hcp.70.int © 2020 John Benjamins Publishing Company
