Abstract:

There is a growing awareness of the significance of constructions in grammar
in the world’s languages. To date there has not been a single volume that
addresses the issues of constructions within a functional Role and Reference
Grammar (RRG) account. The book is a collection of articles that will serve
the scholarly community as a reference work on the role, place and
significance of constructions within this functional model of grammar. As a
result, this volume represents the first instance of cross-linguistic
comparison of these important discourse and syntax-related phenomena. The
articles cover a variety of typologically different languages including
German, Irish, Spanish, French, Japanese, Yaqui, Tepehua (Totonacan), Persian,
and English, and they offer new data on the role of constructions, within the
RRG theory, in these languages. Further, this volume contributes towards
providing a comprehensive overview of grammatical constructions which are
central to our understanding of how human languages function, in a functional
linguistics perspective. This scholarly work is grounded in a functionally
oriented model that makes strong claims of descriptive and typological
adequacy. The book will represent a valuable step forward in linguistics
research as it applies the RRG theoretical framework to the analyses of
constructions.
