Description
The Cambridge Handbook of Role and Reference Grammar provides an authoritative overview of Role and Reference Grammar, one of the most influential approaches to linguistic theory and analysis. Edited by leading scholars Delia Bentley, Ricardo Mairal Usón, Wataru Nakamura, and Robert D. Van Valin Jr., this handbook presents the theoretical foundations and practical applications of RRG.
The volume covers RRG’s core principles, including its distinctive approach to syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. It showcases how RRG has been successfully applied to diverse languages and linguistic structures, from simple clauses to complex constructions. Contributors examine RRG’s insights into argument structure, transitivity, case marking, and information structure.
This essential reference work demonstrates RRG’s relevance to contemporary linguistic research and its contributions to understanding universal principles of language organization. It serves as both an introduction for scholars new to the framework and a comprehensive resource for established researchers seeking in-depth analysis of recent theoretical developments and cross-linguistic applications.
