Views like this is not particularly new, but rather traditional in the history of linguistics. But today functional linguistics is constituted by a wide range of theoretical and methodological concerns. What unifies them as functional is the concern with discourse. This is quite natural since language can only function in discourse, not as isolated sentences.This collection of papers reflects some of the major approaches and methodologies in contemporary functional linguisticsStudies in language companion series ;v. 36.Functionalism (Linguistics)CongressesFunctionalism (Linguistics)415Kamio Akio1942-870125Dokkyō Daigaku.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910968472003321Directions in functional linguistics4375014UNINA
