In grammar design, a basic distinction is made between derivational and modular architectures. This raises the question of which organization of grammar can deal with linguistic phenomena more appropriately. The studies contained in the present volume explore the interface relations between different levels of linguistic representation in Functional Discourse Grammar as presented in Hengeveld and Mackenzie (2008) and Keizer (2015). This theory analyses linguistic expressions at four linguistic levels: interpersonal, representational, morphosyntactic and phonological. The articles address issues such as the possible correspondences and mismatches between those levels as well as the conditions which constrain the combinations of levels in well-formed expressions. Additionally, the theory is tested by examining various grammatical phenomena with a focus both on the English language and on typological adequacy: anaphora, raising, phonological reduction, noun incorporation, reflexives and reciprocals, serial verbs, the passive voice, time measurement constructions, coordination, nominal modification, and connectives. Overall, the volume provides both theoretical and descriptive insights which are of relevance to linguistics in general.

Die Publikation präsentiert einen diskursgrammatischen Zugriff auf die erinnerungskulturelle Musterbildung zur Kriegszerstörung der Städte Mannheim, Paderborn und Bremen und ihres Aufbaus. Ausgangspunkt der Diskursbeschreibung bilden kollokative Prägungen wie "in Schutt und Asche", "wurde Opfer von Zerstörungen" oder "erfolgte der Wiederaufbau", mit denen diskurs- und städtespezifische Sichtweisen auf historische Ereignisse anders als mit Schlüssel- und Schlagwörtern unbemerkt im Rücken der Akteure entstehen. Das Themenkorpus mit 1,34 Mio. Tokens beinhaltet Passagen aus Abhandlungen und Gebrauchstexten zur Stadtgeschichte zwischen 1945 und 2016, die die Städtezerstörung durch britische und amerikanische Bombentreffer im Zweiten Weltkrieg sowie die Neugestaltung in Text und Bild thematisieren. Die über Korpusberechnungen, korpusgrammatisch motivierte Annotationen und Slotauswertungen ermittelten Kontextualisierungsprofile der Diskurse wurden jeweils in die Belege zurückgespiegelt. Als zentrales Ergebnis zeigt sich anhand der diskursgrammatischen Präferenzen die Herausbildung einer Diskursverschränkung: Zerstörung wird sprachlich so perspektiviert, dass sie aus der Sicht eines gelungenen Neu-/ Wiederaufbaus "erzählt" wird. The publication takes a discourse-grammatical perspective to address discourses about destruction in the Second World War and post-war reconstruction in the cities of Mannheim, Paderborn, and Bremen from 1945 to 2016. The basic concept is that not only slogans but also unnoticed figures of speech – such as “in rubble and ashes” and “were the victims of destruction” and “the rebuilding took place” – shape our relationship to history.

This book is the first comprehensive presentation of Functional Discourse Grammar, a new and important theory of language structure. The authors set out its nature and origins and show how it relates to contemporary linguistic theory. They demonstrate and test its explanatory power and descriptive utility against linguistic facts from over 150 languages across a wide range of linguistic families. After a full introduction the book is divided into chapters concerned with the four levels of grammatical representation - pragmatic, semantic, morphosyntactic, and phonological - each of which has it
