The Copenhagen School of Linguistics evolved around Louis Hjelmslev and his developing theory of language, glossematics.
Among the prominent members of this new generation of the Copenhagen School of Linguistics were Peter Harder, Elisabeth Engberg-Pedersen, Frans Gregersen, Una Canger and Michael Fortescue.
The basic work of the school is Dansk Funktionel Grammatik (Danish Functional Grammar) by Harder (2006).
Recent developments in the school include Ole Nedergaard Thomsen’s Functional Discourse Pragmatics.
He formulated his linguistic theory together with Hans Jørgen Uldall as an attempt to analyse the expression (phonetics and grammar) and the meaning of a language on a coherent basis.
Acta Linguistica Hafniensia is an academic journal run in collaboration with the Linguistic Circle of Copenhagen.
Like Hjelmslev and Saussure, the approach insists on the basic structural division of communication in planes of content and expression.
On the content plane "the book" has the function of topic of the utterance, that which the sentence is about and which links it to the larger discourse, the function of "hasn't" is to state the illocutionary force of the declarative utterance, and the predicate is the message "hasn't been read by anyone for a while" which is intended to be communicated.
