Role and Reference Grammar (RRG) is a theory of language in which
linguistic structures are accounted for in terms of the interplay
of discourse, semantics and syntax. With contributions from a team
of leading scholars, this Handbook provides a field-defining
overview of RRG. Assuming no prior knowledge, it introduces the
framework step-by-step, and includes a pedagogical guide for
instructors. It features in-depth discussions of syntax,
morphology, and lexical semantics, including treatments of lexical
and grammatical categories, the syntax of simple clauses and
complex sentences, and how the linking of syntax with semantics and
discourse works in each of these domains. It illustrates RRG's
contribution to the study of language acquisition, language change
and processing, computational linguistics, and neurolinguistics,
and also contains five grammatical sketches which show how RRG
analyses work in practice. Comprehensive yet accessible, it is
essential reading for anyone who is interested in how grammar
interfaces with meaning.
