  • Functional Discourse Grammar

    Open AccessDaniel García VelascoCHAPTEREncyclopedia of Applied Linguistics2025

    Functional Discourse Grammar is a theory of language structure with a strong typological foundation. It occupies an intermediate position between radical formalist and radical functional models of language, as it assumes that speakers' knowledge of linguistic forms is instrumental in actual communication. Architecturally, it is a modular grammar that is integrated into a wider theory of verbal interaction which also includes a Contextual, a Conce…

  • Modification and context

    Open AccessDaniel García VelascoARTICLEOpen Linguistics2022

    Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG) assumes a strict separation between representational and interpersonal meaning, which are captured in independent levels within the grammar, and utterance meaning, which arises in contexts of language use. This article argues that this division of labour is problematic for the treatment of modifiers in the noun phrase (non-subsective adjectives in particular), which induce semantic changes in the designation of …

  • Cognitive status and referential acts in functional discourse grammar

    Open AccessDaniel García VelascoARTICLEQuaderns de Filologia - Estudis…2018

    In Functional Discourse Grammar, both Ascription and Reference are characterized as actional processes and are captured at the Interpersonal Level of linguistic description. Additionally, the temporal sequencing of Discourse Acts seems relevant to establishing dependency relations among them. However, the remainder of the levels of representation in the theory contain static descriptions of linguistic structures and not of processes. In this pape…

  • Functional Discourse Grammar and acquisitional adequacy

    Open AccessDaniel García VelascoARTICLERevista Odisseia2017

    This article explores the compatibility of Functional Discourse Grammar with Tomasello's (2003; 2008) Social-Pragmatic theory of language acquisition. Section 1 follows Boland (1999, 2006) and others who have claimed that theories of language should be constructed in such a way that they are compatible with what is known about the process of first language acquisition. In section 2, I will briefly explore the main approaches to the study of langu…

  • Modularity and derivation in Functional Discourse Grammar

    Open AccessDaniel García VelascoARTICLEDELTA Documentação de Estudos em…2017References: 3

    Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG) is a typologically-based theory of language structure which is organized in levels, layers and components. In this paper, I will claim that FDG is modular in Sadock's sense, as it presents four independent levels of representation with their own linguistic primitives each. For modular grammars, the relation between the different levels (more technically, the nature of the interfaces) is a central issue. It will …

  • A flexible lexicon for Functional Discourse Grammar

  • The lexicon in Functional Discourse Grammar

    Open AccessInge Genee, Evelien Keizer et al.ARTICLELinguistics2016Cited by: 1

    This paper discusses the treatment of the lexicon in Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG) and serves to provide a general introduction to the theoretical framework and its formalizations, in particular for readers who may not be intimately familiar with it. After outlining the general architecture of the model, we discuss the position, content and function of the FDG lexicon in more detail. The FDG lexicon is often called the Fund, as it contains m…

  • Activation and the relation between context and grammar

    Open AccessDaniel García VelascoARTICLEPragmatics Quarterly Publication…2015

    Functional Discourse Grammar is characterized as the grammatical component of a wider theory of verbal interaction and is linked to two adjacent components: The Conceptual and the Contextual Components. One general property of these components is that they are not open-ended, but are said to contain only that extra-linguistic information which is relevant for the construction and interpretation of the immediate linguistic expression. In this cont…

  • Functional Grammar

    Open AccessDaniel García VelascoCHAPTEREncyclopedia of Applied Linguistics2012

    The theory of Functional Grammar (FG) was originally developed by the late Simon C. Dik and his associates at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. It takes a functional approach to the study of language which is reflected in (a) the description of language as an instrument of social interaction whose main function is the establishment of interhuman communication; (b) the requirement that language structure be studied within the framework…
