Abstract:
‘The reason the present book is so timely is that it will provide another mode
of access to [Relational Network Theory], for those who would be able to
approach it with the required specialist knowledge It is time that such people
let [...] us know how it shapes up, as an account of the linguistic system,
and of the processes of learning and using language, in the light of current
research.’
>From the Foreword by M.A.K. Halliday
This book offers an updated introduction to Relational Network Theory (RNT), a
neurocognitive model of language compatible with systemic-functional tenets.
It describes and illustrates the logical types of relations found in a
linguistic network. Part I traces the evolution of RNT from the 1960s to the
present, highlighting its systemic and stratificational origins, introducing
its main notational devices, and identifying successive theoretical milestones
(from structural, to operational, to neurocognitive considerations). Part II
offers an unprecedented collection of case studies showing descriptive
applications of RNT. The studies deal with varied linguistic phenomena in
different languages (phonological patterns in Russian, morphological systems
in Polish and Spanish, pronouns and nouns in English discourse, speech errors
in English and Polish). The book is prefaced by Michael Halliday and includes
a recent interview with Sydney Lamb, the main developer of the theory. Its
didactic style and descriptive rigor render it useful for both linguistics
students and professional linguists.
