Description

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.
