Abstract:

Morphological and syntactic issues have received relatively little
attention in Functional Grammar, due to the fact that this grammatical
model, given its functional orientation, was primarily concerned with
developing its pragmatic and semantic components. Now that these have been
solidly developed, this book turns to the further development of the
syntactic and morphological components of the model. 

Two recent developments receive pride of place: Bakker's Dynamic Expression
Model and Hengeveld and Mackenzie's Functional Discourse Grammar. The first
model aims at accounting for the complex interactions that one finds in
many languages between the sets of expression rules that have to account
for form on the one hand and those that establish order on the other. The
second model takes a further step by considering morphosyntactic and
phonological representations to be part of the underlying structure of the
grammar rather than as the output of that grammar, contrary to the original
assumptions in FG. 

The book accordingly contains synopses of these two proposals as well as
applications of these to a variety of linguistic phenomena. Further
articles provide detailed analyses of a range of semantic and pragmatic
categories and their morphosyntactic expression in a wide variety of
languages. The articles in this book contain data on some 60 different
languages, including focused articles on phenomena in Arabic, Danish,
English, Lengua de Señas Española, Mapudungun, Plains Cree, and Tanggu. 

In all, the contributions to this volume show that the issue of
morphosyntactic expression in Functional Grammar is very much alive and
moving into promising new directions, while at the same time contributing
to a better understanding of a large number of morphosyntactic phenomena in
a wide variety of languages.
