Contents:

Functional discourse grammar: a brief outline / Evelien Keizer and Hella Olbertz -- Negation in Functional Discourse Grammar / Kees Hengeveld and J. Lachlan Mackenzie -- Interpersonal adverbs in FDG: The case of frankly / Evelien Keizer -- External possessor constructions and Cree relational inflection compared / Chantale Cenerini -- On objective and subjective epistemic modality again: Evidence from Portuguese and Spanish modal auxiliaries / Hella Olbertz and Marize Mattos Dall'Aglio Hattnher -- Premodification in evaluative of-binominal noun phrases: An FDG vs a zone-based account / Elnora ten Wolde -- Subject expression in Brazilian Portuguese / Taøsa Peres de Oliveira -- Measuring polysynthesis: A Functional Discourse Grammar approach / Inge Genee.

Summary: This volume presents a collection of papers using the theory of Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG) to analyse and explain a number of specific constructions or phenomena (external possessor constructions and binominal constructions, negation, modification, modality, polysynthesis and transparency) from different perspectives, language-specific, comparative and typological. In addition to applying the theory to the topics in question, these papers aim to contribute to the further development of the theory by modifying and extending it on the basis of new linguistic evidence from a range of languages, thus providing the latest state-of-the-art in FDG. The volume as a whole, however, does more than this, as separately and together the papers collected here aim to demonstrate how FDG, with its unique architecture, can provide new insights into a number of issues and phenomena that are currently of interest to theoretical linguists in general.
