In 1989 a group of members of the Copenhagen Linguistic circle inspired by the advances in cognitive linguistics and the functionalist theories of Simon C. Dik founded the School of Danish Functional Grammar aiming to combine the ideas of Hjelmsley and Brondal, and other important Danish linguist such as Paul Diderichsen and Otto Jespersen with modern functional linguistcs.
Among the prominent members of this new generation of the Copenhagen School of Linguistics were Peter Harder, Elisabeth Engberg Petersen, Frans Gregersen and Michael Fortescue and the basic work of the school is "Danish Functional Grammar"
