SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book looks at how syntax, semantics and pragmatics interact in different ways across human languages. Written within the framework of Role and Reference Grammar, which proposes a set of rules to link semantic and syntactic relations to each other, it discusses topics across the full range of grammatical phenomena.
