Conjunctive markers of contrast in English and French : from syntax to lexis and discourse
Situated at the interface between corpus linguistics and Systemic Functional Linguistics, this volume focuses on conjunctive markers expressing contrast in English and French. The frequency and placement patterns of the markers are analysed using large corpora of texts from two written registers: newspaper editorials and research articles. The corpus study revisits the long-standing but largely unsubstantiated claim that French requires more explicit markers of cohesive conjunction than English and shows that the opposite is in fact the case. Novel insights into the placement preferences of English and French conjunctive markers are provided by a new approach to theme and rheme that attaches more importance to the rheme than previous studies. The study demonstrates the significant benefits of a combined corpus and Systemic Functional Linguistics approach to the cross-linguistic analysis of cohesion.

Construcción del significado y análisis de la expresión en lingüística funcional
En este volumen la Lingüística Funcional, como corriente que se inscribe en el estructuralismo europeo que, de modo directo o indirecto, continúa a Saussure, se aplica al estudio de la gramática del español y, en el caso del estudio del plano de la expresión, al judeoespañol y al gallego-asturiano.Se estructuran los capítulos de esta obra en cuatro secciones: una de tipo teórico que sirve de actualización de esta escuela en varios aspectos, y luego otras tres de fonología, morfología y sintaxis. La división en las dos últimas parcelas es de tipo práctico, pues la Lingüística Funcional concibe la gramática (en su sentido amplio) como la forma creativa de construir significaciones (denotativas o predicativas, con su remisión a la realidad) en la que entran en juego tanto el léxico como la «morfosintaxis y la semántica.
