The Functional Analysis of English is an introduction to the
analysis and description of English, based on the principles of
systemic functional linguistics. It sets out the tools and analytic
techniques of Hallidayan grammar with clear explanations of
terminology and illustrates these with examples from a variety of
texts, including science, travel, history and literary sources.
This revised third edition incorporates references to recent
research, better explanations of complex problems, and additional
exercises.
Key features:
- an updated overview of applications to real world issues
- revised sections on the current historical position of systemic
functional grammar
- simple introductions to agnation, grammatical metaphor, and
information structure
- chapter summaries, suggestions for further reading, exercises
with answers and a glossary of terms
- a companion website with additional activities, exercises and
supplementary readings for students and instructors
This third edition is an indispensable introduction to systemic
functional linguistics, which can be used independently or in
preparation for M.A.K. Halliday and C.M.I.M. Matthiessen s
"Introduction to Functional Grammar." The book is an ideal text for
students of linguistics, applied linguistics and grammar- those new
to the field, or who have a background in traditional grammar, as
well as teachers of English language.
