Content, expression and structure: Studies in Danish functional grammar
Kees Hengeveld · Acta Linguistica Hafniensia · 1998
In this review I will, rather than discuss the individual contributions to the book under review, address two central issues that recur in several of the papers. In addressing the first issue, i.e. the question whether linguistic phenomena should be approached from a universal or a language-specific perspective, I will look at the book from the perspective of a language typologist. In addressing the second issue, i.e. the differences between Danish and Dutch functional grammar, I will take the perspective of a Dutch functional grammarian.
