Abstract:

This book, intended primarily for researchers and advanced students, expands
greatly on previous work by the authors exploring the topography of the
multidimensional “functional-cognitive space” within which functional,
cognitive and/or constructionist approaches to language can be located. The
analysis covers a broad range of 16 such approaches, with some additional
references to Chomskyan minimalism, and is based on 58 questionnaire items,
each rated by 29 experts on particular models for their importance in the
model concerned. These ratings are analysed statistically to reveal overall
patterns of (dis)similarity across models. The questionnaire ratings and
experts’ comments are then used, together with the authors’ close reading of
the literature, in detailed discussion leading to a final dichotomous rating
for each feature in each model, the results again being analysed
statistically. The final chapter presents the overall conclusions and suggests
how existing collaborations between approaches could be strengthened, and new
ones created, in future research.
