Overview

This volume presents papers from an interdisciplinary symposium held in Oregon in June 1984. The symposium analyzed general issues involving the empirical investigation of pragmatic relations, their realization in natural language syntaxes and how these aspects of functional grammars are related to various cognitive processes or units, such as consciousness or events. Among the topics addressed in the volume are cognitive constraints on information flow and syntax, the identification and linguistic coding of events and actions, and the pragmatic functions of subordination and word order. The contributions are empirical, drawing on extensive data from various sources.
