Description for An Introduction to Relational Network Theory: History, Principles, and Descriptive Applications (Equinox Textbooks and Surveys in Linguistics)
Paperback. .
This book offers an updated introduction to Relational Network Theory (RNT), a neurocognitive model of language compatible with systemic-functional tenets.

Part I traces the evolution of RNT from the 1960s to the present, highlighting its systemic and stratificational origins, introducing its main notational devices, and identifying successive theoretical milestones (from structural, to operational, to neurocognitive considerations). Part II offers an unprecedented collection of case studies showing descriptive applications of RNT. The studies deal with varied linguistic phenomena in different languages (phonological patterns in Russian, morphological systems ... Read more

Reviews for An Introduction to Relational Network Theory: History, Principles, and Descriptive Applications (Equinox Textbooks and Surveys in Linguistics)
'Up till today, as far as I am aware, relational network theory has not been examined in detail from the point of view of current scholarship in neuroscience.
