Autor Robin P. Fawcett
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 iun 2008
Offers an introduction to the main concepts of Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG). This book focuses on the structure of the clause in English and brings out the 'multifunctional' nature of language, and the way in which structures are the result of 'choices between meanings'. It is an 'extension' of Halliday's SFG.

Recenzii

'Robin Fawcett is a first rate linguist and one of the major figures in both systemic functional grammar and in the computer implementation of grammars. [...] Publications from the Cardiff Grammar, [...] for which Fawcett is largely responsible, are fascinating and rewarding: a fruitful fusion of theorizing and pragmatism - a pointer to important developments in the linguistics of the next millennium.'Michael Gregory, Emeritus Professor, York University, Toronto 'There can be no doubt that SFG has lived up to its claim to be a text-oriented theory of language; [...] it has achieved a much wider coverage of English grammar than other approaches, this being especially true of the Cardiff Grammar. [...] In my view the Cardiff model represents a substantial improvement on the Sydney account.' Christopher Butler, Honorary Professor, Swansea University
