Abstract:

This book provides ten case studies in Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG), a
typologically-oriented theory of the organization of natural languages that
has risen to prominence in recent years. The authors, all committed
practitioners of FDG, include Kees Hengeveld, the intellectual father of the
theory, who shows how it offers a radically new approach to constituent
ordering. Other themes covered are evidentiality, modality, adpositions, verb
morphology, possession, raising, sequence of tenses, semi-fixed constructions
and prelinguistic conceptualization. The volume contains an introduction that
explains the rudiments of FDG and summarizes the ten remaining chapters. The
Casebook moves on from Hengeveld & Mackenzie’s (2008) Functional Discourse
Grammar to show how the theory is applied to linguistic problems new and old.
The languages treated are Blackfoot, Dutch, English, Spanish, Welsh,
indigenous languages of Brazil, and many others.
