Abstract:

This collection is the fifth volume of selected papers to emerge from Columbia
School (CS) linguistics conferences. A radically functionalist approach, CS
shares with Cognitive linguistics the view that grammar is composed of
form-meaning correspondences. CS views language as a symbolic tool whose
structure is shaped both by its communicative function and by the
characteristics of its users. The volume includes papers on methodological
issues and innovative analyses on English, Spanish, and Mandarin that
illustrate the value of the strict application of clearly spelled out
theoretical principles to the execution of linguistic analysis. Four of the
volume’s eleven papers are written in Spanish, and all papers have abstracts
in both English and Spanish. An introduction highlights the theoretical and
analytical premises of CS, and their differences from and similarities with
cognitive-functional approaches. The collection will be of interest to
researchers and laymen who aim to understand the role of language in human
communication.
