Dear colleagues,

Please find below information on a new monograph that has just come out:

Lastres-López, Cristina. 2021. From subordination to insubordination: A
functional-pragmatic approach to if/si-constructions in English, French and
Spanish spoken discourse (Linguistic Insights 280). Bern: Peter Lang. 254 pp.
ISBN: 978-3-0343-4220-9. 

"This book explores if/si-constructions in spoken English, French and Spanish,
from a functional-pragmatic and corpus-based perspective. The analysis
comprises instances of subordination, namely, conditional constructions –
including prototypical cause-consequence patterns as well as other
conditionals in which the conditional meaning is weaker – and cases of
insubordination introduced by if and si. The theoretical framework is based on
the three metafunctions distinguished in Systemic Functional Linguistics, and
the data analysed are retrieved from parliamentary discourse and conversations
corpora. The examination of conditional constructions and cases of
insubordination in parallel offers new light on the characterization of
if/si-constructions and their uses and functions in interaction"
