Recent Developments in Functional Discourse Grammar
Edited by Evelien Keizer and Hella Olbertz
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 contructions and binominal constructions, negation, modification, modality, polysynthesis and transparency)… read more[Studies in Language Companion Series, 205] 2018. ix, 283 pp.
Outside the Clause: Form and function of extra-clausal constituents
Edited by Gunther Kaltenböck, Evelien Keizer and Arne Lohmann
This volume brings together a number of articles on the form and function of extra-clausal constituents, a group of linguistic elements which have puzzled linguists by defying analysis in terms of ordinary sentence grammar. Given their high frequency and communicative importance, these elements… read more[Studies in Language Companion Series, 178] 2016. vi, 450 pp.
The interaction between context and grammar in Functional Discourse Grammar
Edited by Nuria Alturo, Evelien Keizer and Lluís Payrató
2023 Chapter 10. Enation and agnation in multi-level models: The case for Functional Discourse Grammar Reconnecting Form and Meaning: In honour of Kristin Davidse, Gentens, Caroline, Lobke Ghesquière, William B. McGregor and An Van linden (eds.), pp. 267–298 | Chapter
Gleason’s (1965) distinction between enation (same structure, different lexemes) and agnation (different structure, same lexemes) has proved to be a crucial one for theoretical linguistics, and over the last decades functional and cognitive linguists have made important contributions to the… read more
2023 Continuative and contrastive discourse relations across discourse domains: Cognitive and cross-linguistic approaches Continuative and contrastive discourse relations across discourse domains: Cognitive and cross-linguistic approaches, Klumm, Matthias, Anita Fetzer and Evelien Keizer (eds.), pp. 4–15 | Introduction
2022 Premodification in X-is constructions: Fact and point English Noun Phrases from a Functional-Cognitive Perspective: Current issues, Sommerer, Lotte and Evelien Keizer (eds.), pp. 235–276 | Chapter
Although most studies on the X-is construction (thing-is, fact-is, point-is, etc.) acknowledge that premodification is allowed, very little attention has been paid to this property of the construction. Focusing on instances with the head nouns fact and point, this paper seeks to find out which… read more

2020 Chapter 6. The semantics, syntax and prosody of adverbs in English: An FDG perspective Grammar and Cognition: Dualistic models of language structure and language processing, Haselow, Alexander and Gunther Kaltenböck (eds.), pp. 191–232 | Chapter
In the extensive literature on parenthetical (non-propositional, disjunctive) adverbs, it is often assumed that, on the basis of their semantic, syntactic and prosodic properties, a binary distinction can be made between integrated (non-parenthetical) and non-integrated (parenthetical) adverbs.… read more

The aim of this chapter is to present an FDG analysis of interpersonal adverbs like frankly, fortunately and briefly. Although the literature on these adverbs (also referred to as parenthetical, disjunctive, or comment adverbs) is extensive, and their discourse-pragmatic functions and semantic… read more

The aim of this chapter is to propose a Functional Discourse Grammar analysis of constructions of the form (the) {thing/point/fact etc.} is (is) (that) that reflects both the semi-fixed nature of these constructions and their specific discourse-pragmatic functions. First, it is argued that the… read more
2008 English prepositions in Functional Discourse Grammar Functions of Language 15:2, pp. 216–256 | Article
Adpositions have always been problematic in terms of analysis and representation: should they be regarded as lexical elements, with an argument structure, or as semantically empty grammatical elements, i.e. as operators or functions? Or could it be that some adpositions are lexical and others… read more
