Abstract:

In grammar design, a basic distinction is made between derivational and
modular architectures. This raises the question of which organization of
grammar can deal with linguistic phenomena more appropriately. The studies
contained in the present volume explore the interface relations between
different levels of linguistic representation in Functional Discourse Grammar
as presented in Hengeveld and Mackenzie (2008) and Keizer (2015). This theory
analyses linguistic expressions at four linguistic levels: interpersonal,
representational, morphosyntactic and phonological. The articles address
issues such as the possible correspondences and mismatches between those
levels as well as the conditions which constrain the combinations of levels in
well-formed expressions. Additionally, the theory is tested by examining
various grammatical phenomena with a focus both on the English language and on
typological adequacy: anaphora, raising, phonological reduction, noun
incorporation, reflexives and reciprocals, serial verbs, the passive voice,
time measurement constructions, coordination, nominal modification, and
connectives. Overall, the volume provides both theoretical and descriptive
insights which are of relevance to linguistics in general.
