• Toward a neuro-cognitive interpretation of ‘context’

  T Givón•ARTICLE•Pragmatics & Cognition•2001

  Incluir item

  This paper undertakes to begin to perform the overdue task of de-objectivizing the key pragmatic notion of ‘context’. This notion will be re-interpreted in terms of mental models, which correspond to that portion of ‘reality’ that is relevant for information processing. For this purpose, a variety of examples of the role of ‘context’ in pragmatics will be re-interpreted in terms of notions and findings of neuro-cognitive psychology

  Incluir item

  This book is Prof. Givon's long-awaited critical examination of the fundamental theoretical and methodological underpinnings of the functionalist approach to grammar. It challenges functionalists to take their own medicine and establish non-circular empirical definitions of both 'function' and 'structure'. Ideological hand-waving, however fervent and right-thinking, is seldom an adequate substitute for analytic rigor and empirical responsibility.…

  This collection aims first to establish a structure-independent, language-independent definition of pragmatic voice, and more specifically then a universal functional definition of “inverse”. The grammar and pragmatic function of the four major voice constructions direct-active, inverse, passive, antipassive are surveyed using narrative texts from 14 languages: Koyukon (Athabascan), Plains Cree (Algonquian), Chepang (Tibeto-Burman), Squamish and …

• Irrealis and the Subjunctive

  T Givón•ARTICLE•Studies in Language•1994

  Incluir item

  This paper suggest that in order to understand the cross-language distribution of the subjunctive mood one needs to understand the cross-grammar distribution of the irrealis modality, as well as have a general theory of modality, within which irrealis takes its rightful natural place. The subjunctive mood turns out to occupy two coherent sub regions within irrealis: (a) the subjunctive of lower certainty (within the epistemic sub-mode of irrealis…

• Coherence in text, coherence in mind

  T Givón•ARTICLE•Pragmatics & Cognition•1993

  Incluir item

  This paper suggests that text coherence is a multi-factored affair that, ultimately, pertains to the mental organization of episodic memory, most likely as a partially-hierarchic mental structure. What text researchers usually describe as coherence is merely an artifact of the cognitive phenomenon. The role of grammatical clues in signalling text coherence is investigated, and it is suggested that the grammar processing channel merely supplements…

  This chapter explores the relationship between iconicity, isomorphism, and non-arbitrary coding in syntax. Givón argues that iconic coding principles, where the structure of language mirrors the structure of experience, play a significant role in shaping syntactic structures. He examines various syntactic phenomena, including word order, grammatical relations, and complex sentence constructions, demonstrating how these structures often reflect th…
