Functional Grammar and Prototype Theory: A Case Study from English, German, Croatian and Hungarian

In order to assess the real contribution of prototype theory and its potential as a descriptive procedure in an unbiased way, it appears necessary that we (i) highlight some of its tenets and basic notions, as well as (ii) test its compatibility with various grammatical models. The present paper focuses on the latter task. It is metatheoretically interesting to look for certain elements of protoype theory in various schools of functionally oriented models (e.g. Halliday, Givón, Dik) claiming to be continuing Praguian traditions because there is a strong, though more than often overlooked, intellectual affinity between the Prague functional school and prototype theory. Having outlined some main assumptions of prototype theory, and pointed out a number of features it shares with the Praguian functional approach in the introductory sections, we try in the rest of the first part of the paper to find out whether it is justified to claim that a milder version of prototype theory, in fact, often meets with relative success in the description of certain linguistic phenomena where it can be argued to be a notational variant of the Praguian centre-and-periphery conception, whereas its stronger version often fails due to its non-linguistic aspects. A model's potential for, or even its explicit adoption of some sort of prototype approach, be it only the core principles it shares with its Prague progenitor school or a fully-fledged methodological apparatus, may thus be considered to be, in a broader sense, indicative of a model's faithfulness to or dissent from the principles of the Prague School. In the second part of the paper we look (i) for certain elements that seem to be compatible with prototype theory, and (ii), for some key places making explicit reference to this theory in various schools of functional grammar. The main thrust of the second part is be to check specifically on material from English, German, Croatian and Hungarian whether an adequately constrained version of prototype approach can be successfully applied to an account of syntactic function assignment in a Functional Grammar of Dik's provenance.
