This is the seventh volume in the Collected Works of Professor M.
A. K. Halliday: Studies in English Language. Topics covered in the
papers from the section on Theoretical foundations include
transitivity, theme-rhyme, mood, and modality in English. Other
sections include papers on English intonation and grammar including
discussion of word order in English and the complex structures
typical of informal spontaneous conversation. The grammatical
analyses of English also serve to demonstrate the application of
linguistics to language teaching. This is a fascinating volume,
which is mainly devoted to Michael Halliday's thinking in the
1960s. The collection includes articles ranging from detailed
innovative proposals for a description of intonation that would
allow it to be incorporated into the grammar, through an ambitious
re-orientation of the focus of grammatical description at a time
when Systemic Grammar was emerging from Scale and Category, to a
much later small-scale corpus investigation of the grammar of pain.
Together they illustrate Halliday's continuing intellectual
enthusiasm and openness to new linguistic trends, even though his
own development has always been by accretion, rather than
revolution. So, the reader is fascinated to discover how much of
the early work has been retained, often in a considerably modified
form, in the 21st century version of Systemic Functional Grammar. -
