Abstract:

This volume brings together contributions to a key area of interest within the
framework of systemic functional linguistics: the role of meaning in the
lexicogrammar. A key figure in the debate on this role is Robin Fawcett who
has long argued for a fully semantic lexicogrammar where the relevant systems
are seen as representing ‘choices between meanings’.

This volume, a festschrift in honour of Fawcett’s long-standing contribution
to the field, raises important questions related to lexicogrammatical meaning
within systemic functional linguistics by examining the meaning-form
interface, lexicogrammatical meaning in theme and transitivity, as well as
lexis, intonation and its role in computational models. Importantly,
discussions in the volume also explore the relationship between alternative
approaches to systemic functional lexicogrammar, notably between the
Hallidayan model and the Cardiff Grammar model developed primarily by Robin
Fawcett.
