課程概述

Course Objective and Course Description
This course aims to provide an introduction to the basic concepts used in the description of functional syntax. Differences between functional and formal approaches to linguistic explanation will be pointed out via the analysis of a set of grammatical phenomena, such as clause structure and grammatical relations, from the semantic and pragmatic dimensions of functional theory. Topics on cognition and grammar, discourse analysis and grammaticalization, as aspects of an over-all functional framework for explaining syntactic structure, will be touched upon.
