Functional Discourse Grammar: A Typologically-Based Theory of Language Structure

by J. Lachlan MacKenzie and Kees Hengeveld

Book Overview

This book is the first comprehensive presentation of Functional Discourse Grammar, a new and important theory of language structure. The authors set out its nature and origins and show how it relates to contemporary linguistic theory. They demonstrate and test its explanatory power and
descriptive utility against linguistic facts from over 150 languages across a wide range of linguistic families.
