The second part of a two-part series, this paper aims to provide a radical alternative to standard generative models of the Hungarian clause. Key theoretical features of the new model include (1) a connectionist (relational network theoretic) commitment to defining word order in terms of association and activation patterns rather than discrete units and symbol manipulation, and (2) a cognitive functionalist commitment to viewing grammar not as a self-contained system but as something inextricable from the broader picture of cognition and communication. The paper also offers an 'organic' perspective on the clause, with the predicate analysed as a nuclear clause, or proto-statement, in turn embraced, elaborated and operated on by diverse components of clausal organization.
