Abstract:
Axiomatic functionalism is a highly distinctive and challenging approach in
the European functionalist tradition, which has been developed over the last
50 years. It emphasises clarity and accuracy of theory and methods with
philosophical awareness for the analysis of languages. Axiomatic
Functionalism is even more relevant at a time when functionalism is widely
adopted and speculative universalism is being refuted. This book gives a
clear orientation in the Axiomatic Functionalist approach with a new
introduction, recent previously unpublished work, the latest version of the
theory, a reference bibliography, key previously published articles, and an
assessment of the contribution of Axiomatic Functionalism. The book covers
the key areas of theory, methods, grammar, phonology, and semantics. It
provides clear perspectives on a wide range of fundamental and current
issues in linguistics.
