[Lingtyp] [EXTERN] Question about functional linguistics

[Luigi Talamo]

Dear Eitan,
I can recommend 

Siewierska, Anna. (2013). Functional and Cognitive Grammars. In Keith Allan (ed), Oxford Handbook of the History of Linguistics.

as it offers a nice overview of the different frameworks in our discipline.

Best,

Luigi
