Published early 2007.
This collection presents a number of studies in the lexico-grammar of English which focus on the one hand on close reading of language in context and on
the other hand on current functional theoretical concerns. The various contributions represent distinct functionalist models of language, including
Functional Grammar and Functional Discourse Grammar, Systemic-Functional Grammar, Role and Reference Grammar, Cognitive Grammar and Construction Grammar.
Taken together, however, they typify current work being conducted from the grammatical perspective within the functionalist enterprise, focussing on the
relation between structure and usage.
A fundamental goal of the enterprise is to identify linguistic structures which are constrained by specific features of use, or which actually encode
specific features of use, as many of the contributions here show.
