About this ebook
The contents of this volume are a selection from the papers given at the Sixth Inter-national Conference on Functional Grammar (ICFG), which was held in York, at the University College of Ripon and York St John, from 18 to 22 August, 1994. Functional Grammar as understood in the ICFGs and in this volume is the linguistic model as proposed by Simon Dik, who died six months after the conference. The editors hope that this volume is a fitting tribute to his work. The chapters in this volume are presented in four groups. The first three offer an expansion of FG into a discourse-oriented model based on the existing layered structure. The second group discusses various existing discourse frameworks (Discourse Analysis, Rhetorical Structure Theory, and Accessibility Theory and Relevance) and their potential contribution to FG. The following chapters each discuss one or more pragmatic functions in specific languages (Dutch, Bulgarian, Spanish, and Hebrew). Finally, the final two chapters deal with connectivity.
