This book, published by the prestigious publishing house Equinox (England), offers an updated introduction to Relational Network Theory (TRR), a cognitive model of language compatible with principles of systemic-functional linguistics. Through eight chapters divided into two parts, the types of logical relations typical of linguistic networks are described and illustrated. Part I covers the evolution of TRR from the 1960s to the present; Its systemic and stratificational origins are detailed, its main notational resources are characterized and successive theoretical milestones are identified (with structural, operational and neurocognitive considerations).
