Lachlan Mackenzie
Welcome to my professional website. I am Emeritus Professor of Functional Linguistics at VU Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
I am still active as a Consultant in Languages and Linguistics, with over 50 years of professional experience behind me. My skills and expertise are primarily in European languages, with a specialization in English linguistics. I am fluent in several European languages. I take a functionalist approach; that is, I am convinced that the structure of languages is adapted to their primary purpose, communication between human beings.
