'...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

'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
