Simon Cornelis Dik was a Dutch linguist renowned for developing Functional Grammar theory. He held a chair in general linguistics at the University of Amsterdam from 1969 until 1994. His work emphasized grammar as a tool for social interaction and communication among humans, focusing on language usage, communicative functions, and social context, distinguishing it from other formal approaches like Noam Chomsky's Generative Grammar. His posthumously published work, The Theory of Functional Grammar, contributed significantly to the field alongside influences from Systemic Functional Grammar by Michael Halliday.
