Global grammatikk ser på grammatikken fra et globalt og funksjonelt perspektiv, som et unikt fenomen som gjør mennesker i stand til å samhandle og resonnere, og som kan fortelle oss noe viktig om hvordan mennesker oppfatter og tenker om verden omkring seg. Boka tar sikte på å gi lærere i språk - både norsk og fremmedspråk - redskaper til å forstå og forklare grammatikk fra et funksjonelt perspektiv: Hva er egentlig grammatiske kategorier, og hvor kommer de fra? Hvordan kan man sammenligne ulike språk, og hva finner man ut ved å foreta slike sammenligninger? Hvordan kan det språklige mangfoldet blant elevene i klasserommet tas i bruk i undervisningen? Boka bruker eksempler fra språk fra hele verden til å forklare hva grammatikk egentlig er, hvordan og hvorfor grammatikken i ulike språk kan variere, men også hva språk har til felles. Dermed plasserer den norsk grammatikk i en større sammenheng, men gir også innfallsvinkler til grammatikken i fremmedspråk og minoritetsspråk man møter i skolen og ellers i samfunnet. I denne 2. utgaven er begreper, referanser og tall oppdatert. Boka er dessuten noe omarbeidet med henblikk på tydeligere forklaringer og terminologibruk.

This volume explores the use of demonstratives in the structuring and management of discourse, and their role as engagement expressions, from a crosslinguistic perspective. It seeks to establish which types of discourse-related functions are commonly encoded by demonstratives, beyond the well-established reference-tracking and deictic uses, and also investigates which members of demonstrative paradigms typically take on certain functions. Moreover, it looks at the roles of non-deictic demonstratives, that is, members of the paradigm which are dedicated e.g. to contrastive, recognitional, or anaphoric functions and do not express deictic distinctions. Several of the studies also focus on manner demonstratives, which have been little studied from a crosslinguistic perspective. The volume thus broadens the scope of investigation of demonstratives to look at how their core functions interact with a wider range of discourse functions in a number of different languages. The volume covers languages from a range of geographical locations and language families, including Cushitic and Mande languages in Africa, Oceanic and Papuan languages in the Pacific region, Algonquian and Guaykuruan in the Americas, and Germanic, Slavic and Finno-Ugric languages in the Eurasian region. It also includes two papers taking a broader typological approach to specific discourse functions of demonstratives.
