Abstract:
The differences among functionalist, cognitivist and/or constructionist models
are generally taken to be not absolute, but rather a matter of emphasis and
degree, with an increasing permeability between paradigms arising from
cross-fertilising influences. This book further explores this burgeoning area
of research through the notion of functional-cognitive space, namely, the
topography of the space occupied by functional, cognitivist and/or
constructionist models against the background of formalist approaches in
general and of Chomsky’s Minimalism in particular. Specifically, the twelve
contributions in the present volume update the reader on recent developments
in functionalism (Systemic Functional Grammar, Functional Discourse Grammar
and Role and Reference Grammar) and cognitivism (Word Grammar, (Cognitive)
Construction Grammar and the Lexical Constructional Model). Plotting
cognitive-space proves particularly adequate for situating the six models
represented in this volume, not only in relation to each other, but also
potentially with respect to a wide spectrum of functionalist, cognitivist
and/or constructionist models.
