Abstract:

The articles in this volume analyse the noun phrase within the framework of
Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG), the successor to Simon C. Dik's
Functional Grammar. In its current form, FDG has an explicit top-down
organization and distinguishes four hierarchically organized, interacting
levels: (i) the interpersonal level (language as communicational process),
(ii) the representational level (language as a carrier of content), (iii)
the morphosyntactic level and (iv) the phonological level. Together they
constitute the grammatical component, which in its turn interacts with a
cognitive and a communicative component. This comprehensive approach to
linguistic analysis is also reflected in this volume, which contains rich
and substantial contributions concerning many different aspects of the noun
phrase. At the same time, the analysis of a major linguistic construction
from various perspectives is an excellent way to test a new model of
grammar with regard to some of the standards of adequacy for linguistic
theories.

The book contains several papers dealing with matters of representation and
formalization of the noun phrase (the articles by Kees Hengeveld, José Luis
González Escribano, Jan Rijkhoff and Evelien Keizer). Other contributors
are more concerned with the practical application of the model with regard
to discourse-interpersonal matters (Chris Butler, John H. Connolly),
whereas the chapters by Dik Bakker and Roland Pfau and by Daniel García
Velasco deal with morphosyntactic issues. In all, the variety of issues
addressed and the range of languages considered prove that one of the
important advantages of the FDG model is precisely the fact that
grammatical phenomena can be treated from a semantic, pragmatic,
morpho-syntactic, phonological or textual perspective in a coherent fashion.

This Year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $60,000. This money will go to help keep 
the List running by supporting all of our Student Editors for the coming year.

See below for donation instructions, and don't forget to check out our Fund Drive 
2008 LINGUIST List Circus and join us on our many shows!

http://linguistlist.org/fund-drive/2008/

There are many ways to donate to LINGUIST!

You can donate right now using our secure credit card form at  
https://linguistlist.org/donation/donate/donate1.cfm

Alternatively you can also pledge right now and pay later. To do so, go to:
https://linguistlist.org/donation/pledge/pledge1.cfm

For all information on donating and pledging, including information on how to 
donate by check, money order, or wire transfer, please visit:

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) 
Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations 
can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax 
payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your 
financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
