To conclude, the editors are to be applauded for not only curating the individual chapters but also arranging them in three themes which pay homage to Davidse’s important contributions in the development of functional and cognitive linguistics. It is my firm hope that this work, solid and influential in its own right, will not only be read but also will inspire readers to engage with Davidse’s ongoing and important oeuvre.

- Gerard O’Grady, Cardiff University, in English Language and Linguistics (2024).,

This volume is intended as a celebration of Kristin Davidse’s work and its impact within the broad traditions of cognitive, functional and usage-based grammars. Reflecting this wide functionalist lens, the contributions develop ideas central to Neo-Firthian theories of grammar (in particular, Semiotic Grammar and SFL), the Prague School, Functional Discourse Grammar (FDG), and broader cognitive-functional (e.g. Construction Grammar) and usage-based approaches (e.g. Entrenchment-and-Conventionalization theory, corpus-based sociolinguistics). The range of topics addressed makes the volume particularly relevant to linguists investigating information structure, construction grammar, functional discourse grammar, spatial deixis, pronoun and case systems, and/or the semantics of verbal constructions.
