The Morphosyntactic Level in FDG 5
Form and function
• Morphosyntax encodes interpersonal and representational configurations and is one of the means by which these configurations can be brought across
• At the same time, it has its own principles of organization, partly because there are arbitrary options, partly because once functional structures may become fossilized
![Page 6: The Morphosyntactic Level in Functional Discourse Grammar](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/5681433c550346895dafb143/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Morphosyntactic Level in FDG 6
Form and function
Morphosyntax is functional in that it helps the adressee to interpret
• scope relations (iconicity),• domain boundaries (domain integrity),• pragmatic, semantic and syntactic
functions (functional stability)
