Abstract:

Discourse Syntax is the study of syntax that requires an understanding of the
surrounding text and the overall discourse situation, including considerations
of genre and modality. Using corpus data and insights from current research,
this book is a comprehensive guide to this fast-developing field. It takes the
reader 'beyond the sentence' to study grammatical phenomena, like word order
variation, connectives, ellipsis, and complexity. It introduces core concepts
of Discourse Syntax, integrating insights from corpus-based research and
inviting the reader to reflect on research design decisions. Each chapter
begins with a definition of learning outcomes, provides results from empirical
articles, and enables readers to critically assess data visualization.
Complete with helpful further reading recommendations as well as a range of
exercises, it is geared towards intermediate to advanced students of English
linguistics and it is also essential reading for anyone interested in this
exciting, fast-moving discipline.
