This pioneering volume lays out a set of methodological principles
to guide the description of interpersonal grammar in different
languages. It compares interpersonal systems and structures across
a range of world languages, showing how discourse, interpersonal
relationships between the speakers, and the purpose of their
communication, all play a role in shaping the grammatical
structures used in interaction. Following an introduction setting
out these principles, each chapter focuses on a particular language
- Khorchin Mongolian, Mandarin, Tagalog, Pitjantjatjara, Spanish,
Brazilian Portuguese, British Sign Language and Scottish Gaelic -
and explores mood, polarity, tagging, vocation, assessment and
comment systems. The book provides a model for functional
grammatical description that can be used to inform work on system
and structure across languages as a foundation for functional
language typology.
