Abstract:

Role and Reference Grammar (RRG) is a theory of language in which
linguistic structures are accounted for in terms of the interplay of
discourse, semantics and syntax. With contributions from a team of
leading scholars, this Handbook provides a field-defining overview of
RRG. Assuming no prior knowledge, it introduces the framework
step-by-step, and includes a pedagogical guide for instructors. It
features in-depth discussions of syntax, morphology, and lexical
semantics, including treatments of lexical and grammatical categories,
the syntax of simple clauses and complex sentences, and how the
linking of syntax with semantics and discourse works in each of these
domains. It illustrates RRG's contribution to the study of language
acquisition, language change and processing, computational
linguistics, and neurolinguistics, and also contains five grammatical
sketches which show how RRG analyses work in practice. Comprehensive
yet accessible, it is essential reading for anyone who is interested
in how grammar interfaces with meaning.
