Aspects of Clause Structure in Standard Arabic

Aspects of Clause Structure in Standard Arabic: A Study in Relational Grammar  

State University of NY At Buffalo | 1985  | 321 pages | 5.53 Mb

The present study aims at examining aspects of the clause structure in Standard Arabic (SA); specifically, those clauses which involve and are relevant to "double accusatives". Double accusatives denote clausal structures having two nominais marked for the accusative case. Linguists like Wright (1974) and Comrie (1976) make the strong claim that SA tolerates "double direct object" constructions. Accord- ingly, such constructions violate a universal posited in the linguistic theory of Relational Grammar (RG), the Stratal Uniqueness Law which states that no more than one nominal can bear a given grammatical re- lation like direct object in a single level of structure.

An Introduction to Functional Grammar, 3 edition

Michael Alexander Kirkwood Halliday, Christian M. I. M. Matthiessen, "An Introduction to Functional Grammar, 3 edition"
A Hodder Arnold Publication | 2004 | ISBN: 0340761679 | 700 pages | PDF | 3 MB

In this extensively revised third edition, Halliday and Matthiessen retain the organization and topical coverage of the earlier editions, while incorporating a considerable amount of new material. They give greater emphasis to the systemic perspective, in which grammaticalization is understood in the context of an overall model of language. Their description of grammar is grounded in a comprehensive theory, but it is a theory which evolves in the process of being applied.
