This volume contains functional approaches to the description of language and culture, and language and cultural change. The approaches taken by the authors range from cognitive approaches including Stratificational grammar to more socially oriented ones including Systemic Functional linguistics. The volume is organized into two sections.
The first section ‘Functional Approaches to the Structure of Language: Theory and Practice’ starts with contributions developing a Stratificational model; these are followed by contributions focusing on some related functional model of language; and by articles describing some particular set of language phenomena.
In the second section ‘Functional Approaches to the History of Language and Linguistics’ general studies of language change are addressed first; a second group of contributions examines language change, lexicon and culture; and the last cluster of contributions treats the history of linguistics and culture.

Copeland, gathering 36 essays across a wide range of linguistic subfields. Copeland supplies the introduction, and Lockwood contributes a biographical sketch of Lamb and a bibliography of his published works. The first part deals with functional approaches to linguistic structure. It opens with papers building on Lamb's stratificational model, among them studies of idiom valence, neural network models of language production and neurological evidence for the lexicon. Papers on related functional theories follow, then descriptive studies such as Lockwood on the English noun phrase and Fries on certain English adjectives. The second part turns to historical questions in three groups: general studies of language change, lexicon and culture, and the history of linguistics. One contribution there is Copeland's paper on gesture becoming grammar in Tarahumara. Ex-Library. N° de réf. du vendeur 240804-shelf-66-013
