[Lingtyp] Question about functional linguistics

[Eitan Grossman]

Hi all,

This is maybe a mail for a mailing list that no longer exists, the old
FunkNet, but I thought I'd give it a try.

I am putting together a syllabus for an advanced BA course on functional
linguistics, and have been re-reading a lot of the articles that have been
meaningful for me over the years, and it is difficult to make a choice.

I wanted to ask for the wisdom of the crowd -- what articles (or books) in
functional linguistics have been meaningful for you? What have you read
with students? What works do you think every student should read?

I should say that I have in mind what is usually called West Coast
Functionalism and usage-based linguistics, but would be happy to hear your
thoughts on other perspectives.

Any replies would be much appreciated, and I would be happy to share the
resulting reading list/syllabus.

Eitan
