A Good Intro
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
An accessible introduction to systemic functional linguistics. My linguistics professor calls this book "the Bible." :)
A grammar that's about Meaning
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Halliday's Introduction to Functional Grammar, now in its revised and improved Second Edition, is the best book you can read if you want to understand how English grammar is a resource for making meaning. Most formal grammar is just about syntax -- how words get put together grammatically, with no consideration of how people use language to communicate a meaning. This book has been the basis for many of the most successful applications of linguistics to education, language teaching, and studies of culture, communication, mass media, politics, etc. It's a book to read, use, and keep.
