Reviews / Votes
'...an invaluable presentation of, and rationale for, the central descriptive apparatus of Halliday's systemic-functional grammar of English...essential reading for all students of English textual structure, teeming with insights.' - Michael Toolan, University of Birmingham, UK'Anyone who claims any interst in practical grammar and its relationship to theoretical grammar should certainly familiarise themselves with it.' - Studies in Second Language Acquisition
'It is hard to imagine anyone in the field of applied linguistics or 'linguistics applied' that does not recognise the ever increasing insights that this 4th edition of SFG continues to give in seeing language from so many different perspectives. Its value for teachers and reseachers is immeasurable.' - J.A. Foley, Assumption University, Bangkok
