|---|
| summary | Much of contemporary typologies of functional categories has clause as one of its central themes. This lecture will provide a model for a typology of clausal predications and associated semantic relations. The lecture will demonstrate how to discover meanings encoded in clausal predications, how to prove these meanings, and finally how to build a typology based on the discovered meanings. A typology based on functions actually encoded in individual languages allows us to explain why certain languages have passive constructions and others do not. An extension of the proposed approach to other functional domains contributes to the elucidation of one of most important questions in linguistic typology, viz. why languages are similar and why they are different. |
