This chapter contextualizes the book as a whole, surveying the study of emotion in discourse and presenting our own view and definition of the phenomenon. We show how functional, cognitive and social linguistic approaches to discourse analysis, in what is labeled the ‘emotional turn’, have ceased… read more

2019 Chapter 3. The syntax of an emotional expletive in English Emotion in Discourse, Mackenzie, J. Lachlan and Laura Alba-Juez (eds.), pp. 55–86 | Chapter
Various linguists have identified linguistic phenomena that express emotions rather than purely ideational or discursive meanings. From the viewpoint of Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG) adopted here, emotion is visible above all as an overlay on structures that communicate interpersonal and… read more

2018 Negation in Functional Discourse Grammar Recent Developments in Functional Discourse Grammar, Keizer, Evelien and Hella Olbertz (eds.), pp. 17–46 | Chapter
The purpose of this chapter is to show that the model of Functional Discourse Grammar can be used to provide a detailed classification of expressions of negation by taking its hierarchical, layered structure as the point of departure. The chapter thus follows up on ideas first launched in Dik… read more
2016 Dynamicity and dialogue: Perspectives from Functional Discourse Grammar The dynamicity of communication below, around and above the clause, Clarke, Ben and Jorge Arús-Hita (eds.), pp. 56–76 | Article
The article surveys how Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG; Hengeveld & Mackenzie 2008) has responded to Simon Dik’s call for a functional grammar to have ‘psychological adequacy’ and draws parallels to similar initiatives from other approaches. After a brief history of what has later come to be… read more
2016 A first history of Functional Grammar History of Linguistics 2014: Selected papers from the 13th International Conference on the History of the Language Sciences (ICHoLS XIII), Vila Real, Portugal, 25–29 August 2014, Assunção, Carlos, Gonçalo Fernandes and Rolf Kemmler (eds.), pp. 233–246 | Article
The history is told of Functional Grammar (FG), as developed by Simon C. Dik (1940–1995) of the University of Amsterdam and his co-workers. The presentation covers the genesis of the theory, its international recognition, the early death of its originator and main protagonist as well as Dik’s… read more
2014 Besides as a connective The Functional Perspective on Language and Discourse: Applications and implications, Gómez González, María de los Ángeles, Francisco José Ruiz de Mendoza Ibáñez, Francisco Gonzálvez-García and Angela Downing (eds.), pp. 223–242 | Article
This chapter throws new light upon besides as a connective in contemporary
English. Using examples extracted from corpora, we consider how to reconcile
the notions of “tangentiality” and “decisiveness” found in existing descriptions
of its function. After an assessment of the only previous… read more
2014 Grammar and context in Functional Discourse Grammar The interaction between context and grammar in Functional Discourse Grammar, Alturo, Nuria, Evelien Keizer and Lluís Payrató (eds.), pp. 203–227 | Article
This article presents a proposal for the organization of the Contextual Component in Functional Discourse Grammar. A guiding principle in this proposal is that, given the fact that Functional Discourse Grammar is a theory of grammar, the Contextual Component should provide the information that is… read more
2014 The contextual component in a dialogic FDG The interaction between context and grammar in Functional Discourse Grammar, Alturo, Nuria, Evelien Keizer and Lluís Payrató (eds.), pp. 249–273 | Article
Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG) has to date been explicitly oriented to modelling the grammar of the individual speaker, with the Contextual Component being seen as supportive. If FDG is re-interpreted as dialogic, the Contextual Component emerges as being shared by all interactants in the… read more
2013 Spatial adpositions between lexicon and grammar Casebook in Functional Discourse Grammar, Mackenzie, J. Lachlan and Hella Olbertz (eds.), pp. 67–94 | Article
This chapter presents an FDG analysis of spatial adpositions, showing that they divide into two classes, lexical and grammatical. Lexical adpositions are primitives that feed into formulation, whereas grammatical adpositions are primitives at encoding, realizing semantic functions from the… read more

Lachlan Mackenzie and Elsa M. González Álvarez (eds.), pp. 51–75 | Article
Cast in Functional Grammar (FG), this chapter considers the syntactic placement of pronominal clitics in European Portuguese (EP), contrasting these with comparable phenomena in Castilian Spanish (CS). It emerges that EP constituent order results from the interplay of (at least) a single, minimally… read more
2007 Double-possessive nominalizations in English Functional Perspectives on Grammar and Discourse: In honour of Angela Downing, Butler, Christopher S., Raquel Hidalgo Downing and Julia Lavid-López (eds.), pp. 217–232 | Article
Double-possessive nominalizations such as Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait have played a prominent role in the history of linguistics. However, this construction is not only cross-linguistically rare but also the least used form of nominalization in English texts. The question is therefore addressed of… read more

Various proposals have been put forward to explain the typological skewing produced by the universal preference for suffixing as opposed to prefixing. These proposals have focused either on processing or on diachronic explanations (or a combination of both). In the present paper it is argued that a… read more
