Olbertz, Hella
The 'Casebook in Functional Discourse Grammar' provides ten case studies in Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG). Hella Olbertz is assistant professor in Linguistics.
Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG) is a new version of Functional Grammar (FG) (Dik 1997). The authors include Kees Hengeveld, the intellectual father of the theory, who shows how it offers a radically new approach to constituent ordering. Other themes covered are evidentiality, modality, adpositions, verb morphology, possession, raising, sequence of tenses, semi-fixed constructions and prelinguistic conceptualization. The volume contains an introduction that explains the rudiments of FDG. The Casebook moves on from Hengeveld & Mackenzie’s (2008) Functional Discourse Grammar to show how the theory is applied to linguistic problems new and old.
