assemblage - Coggle Diagram

- - - - the meaning of a sign is a measure of the probablity of trigerring a particular material process
      - signs that trigger other signs to self-organizing
    - - the process by which elements of an extant assemblage dissemble and go on to form a new assemblage or ‘reterritorialize’
      - two kinds
        
        relative deterritorialization
        
        the self-organization follows the patterns that have already been conventionalized
        
        absolute deterritorialization
        
        the self-organization exhibits the system’s ‘capacity for selftransformation
- - - - a shared understanding
        
        what parts of constructions are open
        
        what parts of constructions are closed
        
        not stable / taken for granted
        
        speakers have their own inferences about what is open what is not
        
        speakers from the same community can have slightly differing ideas about the pragmatic and lexicogrammatical properties of a construction
        
        speakers assemble language in ways that reflect their own encounters with and understanding of particular constructions
        
        shared understandings are dependent on speakers' interpretations of these constructions
        
        interpretations change over time

- - - - English, Japanese, bad English
        
        we learn to assemble linguistic signs and categorize them as 'English', 'Japanese', etc.
        
        learning through socialization within
        
        speech practices
        
        language ideologies of communities
      - langauge as an autonomous system
        
        there is no totality in language
        
        language is an ongoing project
        
        different bits added
        
        others removed
        
        we never encounter the complete collection of signs
        
        as the components of the collection change, so too does the assemblage.
        
        no reason why we
        should all share exactly the same understanding of the linguistic assemblage
        
        since different individuals likely to have different collections of signs in mind and the same individual may even have different collections of signs in mind at different times
    - - the signs of the system / variety is assembled
