Abstract:

Over the last forty years, the functionalist approach to linguistic
description and explanation has given rise to several major schools of thought
that share two crucial assumptions: (i) form is not independent of
meaning/function or language use; and (ii) linguistic description and
explanation need to take into account the communicative function of language.
This volume offers readers interested in functional linguistics a selected
sample of studies that jointly prove the efficacy of the analytical tools and
procedures broadly accepted within the functionalist tradition in order to
investigate language and discourse, with special focus on key
pragmatic/discourse notions such as contextualization, grammaticalisation,
reference, politeness, (in-)directness, discourse markers, speech acts,
subjective evaluation and sentiment analysis in texts, among others. In
addition, this volume offers specific corpus-based techniques for the
objective contextualisation of linguistic data, which is crucial given the
central role allotted to context in both functional linguistics and
pragmatics/discourse analysis.
