Abstract:

This volume presents a collection of papers using the theory of Functional
Discourse Grammar (FDG) to analyse and explain a number of specific
constructions or phenomena (external possessor contructions and binominal
constructions, negation, modification, modality, polysynthesis and
transparency) from different perspectives, language-specific, comparative and
typological. In addition to applying the theory to the topics in question,
these papers aim to contribute to the further development of the theory by
modifying and extending it on the basis of new linguistic evidence from a
range of languages, thus providing the latest state-of-the-art in FDG. The
volume as a whole, however, does more than this, as separately and together
the papers collected here aim to demonstrate how FDG, with its unique
architecture, can provide new insights into a number of issues and phenomena
that are currently of interest to theoretical linguists in general.
