Review: "This new edition of The Functional Analysis of English provides a basic introduction to systemic-functional linguistics in the context of English. It presents the principles of a Hallidayan approach to language studies and introduces, in an explanatory way, a set of techniques for the grammatical analysis of English." "This book can be used either as a stand-alone introduction to Halliday's theory, or in conjunction with the latest edition of Halliday's An Introduction to Functional Grammar, which informs the updated text throughout. Linguistics terms are clearly explained and illustrated with authentic examples from a wide variety of sources, including scientific and technical texts. The Functional Analysis of English remains the most accessible and comprehensive introduction to Hallidayan linguistics and is ideal for anyone approaching the subject for the first time, particularly English language teachers."--BOOK JACKET.
