About this book
Contexts of Subordination: Cognitive, typological and discourse perspectives is a collection of articles that approaches linguistic subordination as a semantico-grammatical and pragmatic phenomenon. The volume brings together cognitive, interactional and typological perspectives, and is characterised by extensive use of multi-genre data. The collection aims at a more precise understanding of subordination by emphasizing its pragmatic and contextual nature. Subordination and its linguistic realizations are studied from the perspective of language in its actual contexts of use, as an interactional resource available to language users, in both written and spoken language. In addition, the authors produce typologically relevant information about subordination in the different varieties and genres of the studied languages (English, Estonian, Finnish, and French). These qualities make the book unique in the field of subordination studies.
Reviews
Yi’na Wang & Siqi Lyu, Beihang University, in Functions of Language 24:1 (2017):
Contexts of Subordination presents an innovative view of the features of and main approaches to its subject, and sets a good example to the study of subordination in both theory and practice. It will be a worthwhile read not only for students and lecturers who are interested in subordination,
but also for functionalists, corpus linguists and typologists.
