Opis

This books reflects the growing interest within Functional Grammar for the further development of the syntactic and morphological components of the model. The papers in this volume discuss two recent developments, the Dynamic Expression Model for Functional Grammar and the conversion of this model into a Functional Discourse Grammar model, synopses of which are included. Further articles provide detailed analyses of a range of semantic and pragmatic categories and their morphosyntactic expression in a wide variety of languages. The articles in this book include data on some 60 different languages.

Recenzje

"If the editors of the Functional Grammar Series intended it to go out with a bang, they have certainly succeeded. This is a very valuable collection of papers that contributes both to the development of the theory into one that truly takes discourse into account, as well as to the understanding of problematic phenomena in a variety of languages. Linguists already working within F(D)G or in other functionally oriented frameworks will find much to inspire them in this book."
