Emergentism focuses on the ways in which the learning, processing, and structure of language emerge from a competing set of cognitive, communicative, and biological constraints, operating across widely divergent time scales. This handbook is the most in-depth and inclusive attempt yet made to bring together studies from the most prominent advocates of emergentism.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhenomena ranging from syntax and typology to language learning, language processing, sociolinguistics, and computational modeling are explored with reference to the competing forces that shape the emergence of language across nano and intergenerational time scales.
