2027 Insults as a sentence type: A cross-linguistic perspective The Interpersonal Level in Functional Discourse Grammar, Serafim, Monielly, Matthias Mittendorfer and Kees Hengeveld (eds.), pp. 123–158 | Chapter
This paper asks whether insults are ever encoded as a distinct sentence type in natural languages, and hence form a distinct grammaticalized Illocution in the languages concerned. To assess this, we designed three mutually independent criteria and applied these to 29 constructions from 23… read more
2027 The Interpersonal Level in Functional Discourse Grammar The Interpersonal Level in Functional Discourse Grammar, Serafim, Monielly, Matthias Mittendorfer and Kees Hengeveld (eds.), pp. 20–67 | Chapter
This chapter provides an overview of the organization of the Interpersonal Level in Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG). The Interpersonal Level in FDG captures the actional aspects of utterances to the extent that these are formally encoded, including, among many other aspects, rhetorical… read more
2026 Chapter 12. A layered approach to habitual constructions: Typological generalizations A Layered Approach to Habitual Constructions, Gregersen, Sune and Kees Hengeveld (eds.), pp. 372–385 | Chapter
This chapter presents typological generalizations that can be derived from a comparison of the data presented in Chapters 2–11 in this volume. The languages are compared in the light of the two predictions presented in Chapter 1: (i) across and within languages, dedicated habitual expressions… read more
2026 Chapter 8. Habitual constructions in European Portuguese A Layered Approach to Habitual Constructions, Gregersen, Sune and Kees Hengeveld (eds.), pp. 229–265 | Chapter
This chapter examines two habitual constructions in European Portuguese, costumar + infinitive and the present perfect, from a Functional Discourse Grammar perspective. Through a variety of collocation and interpretation tests designed to determine the semantic scope of grammatical expressions,… read more
2024 Chapter 6. Underspecification and ambiguity of voice markers: Synchrony and diachrony Vagueness, Ambiguity, and All the Rest: Linguistic and pragmatic approaches, Fiorentini, Ilaria and Chiara Zanchi (eds.), pp. 110–147 | Chapter
Voice markers have a notorious cross-linguistic tendency towards multifunctionality, in that a given marker can encode more than one voice operation at a time, such as reflexive and passive. In addition, diachronic typological research has also shown that patterns of multifunctionality of voice… read more
2014 Grammar, context and the hearer: A proposal for an addressee-oriented model of Functional Discourse Grammar The interaction between context and grammar in Functional Discourse Grammar, Alturo, Nuria, Evelien Keizer and Lluís Payrató (eds.), pp. 275–296 | Article
This paper addresses two issues related to the overarching question of how to integrate Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG) into a wider theory of verbal interaction (Hengeveld and Mackenzie 2008: 1). First, it proposes an addressee-oriented version of the Grammatical Component, presenting a first… read more
