Actually
Several studies have been devoted, partly or wholly, to the different uses of the adverb actually. Although there is considerable agreement on the main discourse functions actually can perform, there is little consensus on which subtypes to distinguish, and how these subtypes, and the functions they perform, are related to the formal properties of actually. Consequently, conclusions concerning the relation between the various functions of actuall…

Modification in Functional Discourse Grammar
This is an introduction to the Special Issue on Modification in Functional Discourse Grammar
Modifier-numeral word order in the English NP
It is generally accepted that the order of elements within the English noun phrase is relatively fixed, and that, in the prefield, determiners (primary and secondary) precede modifiers. This article is concerned with a group of noun phrases exhibiting non-canonical word order, namely those cases in which a modifier precedes a numeral, such as a fabulous two years , a staggering 30 singles , that short fourteen months, and the largest two markets …
Insubordinate if -clauses in FDG
The so-called insubordinate clauses have received an increasing amount of attention in recent years in a wide variety of typologically different languages and from different analytical perspectives. This article concerns itself with one particular type of insubordination, namely insubordinate if -clauses ( e.g. If you’ll just come next door , if you hadn’t noticed , if I may ask ). So far, the extensive literature on these clauses has concentrate…
On assigning pragmatic functions in English
This paper presents a discussion of the treatment of the pragmatic functions Topic and Focus in Functional Grammar (Dik: 1989, ch. 13). Two questions will be addressed: (a) the theoretical question of how the interface between the static grammar (dealing with a discourse as the product of text-creating activity) and the dynamic theory of verbal interaction (dealing with discourse as the ongoing text-creating process itself) is handled with regard…
Modelling stance adverbs in grammatical theory
Modal Adverbs in FDG
One of the distinctive features of the theory of Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG) is that it distinguishes various hierarchically organized layers of analysis, each of which is provided with a slot for modifiers relevant at the layer in question. Linear placement of these modifiers is determined by the layer to which they belong, with the ordering of elements taking place in a top-down, outward-inward manner. The model, in other words, makes pr…
Idiomatic expressions and anaphoric reference in functional discourse grammar
This paper deals with a special type of anaphoric relation that consists in a reference through/to a part of a fixed idiomatic experience. It is proved that, contrary to what is generally assumed, such references are not necessarily grammatically or stylistically marked. Instead, they are part of several productive usage patterns. With corpus data and a discursive-functional grammatical approach, I provide a theoretically-substantiated analysis o…

Idiomatic expressions in Functional Discourse Grammar
This article addresses the question of how the theory of Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG), with its clear distinction between lexicon and grammar, can deal with semi-fixed constructions by proposing a consistent and cognitively plausible account of idiomatic expressions that can not only deal with the partly unpredictable and partly productive character of these expressions, but also with the variation within the class of idioms. It is argued t…
The lexicon in Functional Discourse Grammar
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…
The interaction between context and grammar in functional discourse grammar
Functional Discourse Grammar (Hengeveld and Mackenzie 2008) is, as the name suggests, a functional theory of grammar which also takes into consideration aspects of the discourse context in which utterances are used. It is functional in that it assumes that the structure of linguistic utterances is not arbitrary but motivated by the communicative function these utterances fulfil. It is discourse-oriented in that it acknowledges that the structure …
Context and cognition in Functional Discourse Grammar
This paper discusses a recurring problem in the development and application of models of grammar: That of deciding which linguistically relevant contextual information forms part of (i.e. enters) the grammar, and which contextual information interacts with the grammar without being part of it. More specifically it considers the active-passive alternation in English within the framework of Functional Discourse Grammar. First, the possible factors …

A Functional Discourse Grammar Account of Set Nouns in Dutch and its Implications for Lexicography
This paper1 examines the semantic and syntactic behavior of Dutch S-nouns (e.g. echtpaar, ‘married couple’, tweetal ‘twosome, couple’ and stel ‘couple’), a particular subset of what are generally known as ‘set’ (or ‘collection’) nouns. Using the theoretical framework of Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG; Hengeveld and Mackenzie 2008), it more particularly addresses the question which information needs to be provided in the lexicon, as well as in …
The interpersonal level in English
The aim of this article is to describe and classify a number of different forms of English reported speech (or thought), and subsequently to analyze and represent them within the theory of FDG. First, the most prototypical forms of reported speech are discussed (direct and indirect speech); subsequently some less prototypical modes of report (free direct and indirect speech, as well as a number of hybrid constructions) are considered. It is argue…
Lexicon and frames in FDG
Verb-preposition constructions in FDG
English prepositions in Functional Discourse Grammar
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 grammatical, or even that one and the same adposition can be either, dependent on its use in a particular context? In Functional Grammar (Dik 1997a,b) adpos…
