An Introduction to Functional Grammar

An Introduction to Functional Grammar

Unpacks English grammar through systemic-functional theory.

If you are passionate about language and want to deepen your understanding of English, this book is for you. The approach Halliday takes isn't just about the mechanics of grammar; it's about how meaning is constructed in English and the functions that language serves in context. You'll see English from a fresh, scientific perspective, which is particularly enlightening if you're involved in linguistics, AI, or education. This book is a bridge connecting the abstract to the practical, making it a significant read for anyone seeking a comprehensive view of how grammar works in real-world applications.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

This revised edition of the classic treatment of its subject presents an outline of the grammar of modern English in the framework of systemic-functional linguistic theory and serves as an introduction to functional theory in general, which can be used for describing any language in its own terms. The description of English presented here has been widely used in a number of applied linguistics contexts, particularly artificial intelligence and language education, both second language and mother tongue, but also in literary stylistics and other fields requiring a rich interpretation of the text.
