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.
This book explores how modernity, the urban, and the sacred overlap
in fundamental ways in contemporary Spain. Urban spaces have
traditionally been seen as the original sites of modernity,
history, progress, and a Weberian systematic disenchantment of the
world, while the sacred has been linked to the natural, the rural,
mythical past origins, and exemption from historical change. This
collection problematizes such clear-cut distinctions as overlaps
between the modern urban and the sacred in Spanish culture are
explored throughout the volume. Placed in the periphery of Europe,
Spain has had a complex relationship with the concept of modernity
and commonly understood processes of modernization and
secularization, thus offering a unique case-study of the
interaction between the modern and the sacred in the city.
The articles in this volume analyse the noun phrase within the
framework of Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG), the successor to
Simon C. Dik's Functional Grammar. In its current form, FDG has an
explicit top-down organization and distinguishes four
hierarchically organized, interacting levels: (i) the interpersonal
level (language as communicational process), (ii) the
representational level (language as a carrier of content), (iii)
the morphosyntactic level and (iv) the phonological level. Together
they constitute the grammatical component, which in its turn
interacts with a cognitive and a communicative component. This
comprehensive approach to linguistic analysis is also reflected in
this volume, which contains rich and substantial contributions
concerning many different aspects of the noun phrase. At the same
time, the analysis of a major linguistic construction from various
perspectives is an excellent way to test a new model of grammar
with regard to some of the standards of adequacy for linguistic
theories. The book contains several papers dealing with matters of
representation and formalization of the noun phrase (the articles
by Kees Hengeveld, Jose Luis Gonzalez Escribano, Jan Rijkhoff and
Evelien Keizer). Other contributors are more concerned with the
practical application of the model with regard to
discourse-interpersonal matters (Chris Butler, John H. Connolly),
whereas the chapters by Dik Bakker and Roland Pfau and by Daniel
Garcia Velasco deal with morphosyntactic issues. In all, the
variety of issues addressed and the range of languages considered
prove that one of the important advantages of the FDG model is
precisely the fact that grammatical phenomena can be treated from a
semantic, pragmatic, morpho-syntactic, phonological or textual
perspective in a coherent fashion.

This book constitutes the refereed workshop proceedings of the 16th
International Conference on Algorithms and Architectures for
Parallel Processing, ICA3PP 2016, held in Granada, Spain, in
December 2016. The 30 full papers presented were carefully reviewed
and selected from 58 submissions. They cover many dimensions of
parallel algorithms and architectures, encompassing fundamental
theoretical approaches, practical experimental projects, and
commercial components and systems trying to push beyond the limits
of existing technologies, including experimental efforts,
innovative systems, and investigations that identify weaknesses in
existing parallel processing technology.
