Abstract:
This book is intended as a systemic functional contribution to language typology
both for those who would like to understand and describe particular languages
against the background of generalizations about a wide range of languages and
also for those who would like to develop typological accounts that are based on
and embody descriptions of the systems of particular languages (rather than
isolated constructions). The book is a unique contribution in at least two respects.
On the one hand, it is the first book based on systemic functional theory that is
specifically concerned with language typology. On the other hand, the book
combines the particular with the general in the description of languages: it
presents comparable sketches of particular languages while at the same time
identifying generalizations based on the languages described here as well as on
other languages.
The volume explores eight languages, covering seven language families:
French, German, Pitjantjatjara, Tagalog, Telugu, Vietnamese, Chinese, and
Japanese.
