Danish Functionalism (also referred to as Danish Functional Linguistics) is a strand of functional linguistics drawing heavily on the work and ideas of Louis Hjelmslev, but also other functional frameworks such as cognitive semantics and Simon Dik's functional grammar. It is mainly associated with linguists at the University of Copenhagen and the Copenhagen Business School. The most notable publication in this framework is Peter Harder's Functional Semantics.
