Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) is a usage-based theory of language, founded on the assumption that language is shaped entirely by its various functions in the contexts in which it used. The first of its kind, this book advances SFL by applying it comparatively to English, Spanish and Chinese. By analysing English alongside two other, typologically very different major world languages, it shows how SFL can effectively address two central issues in linguistics namely typology and universals. It concentrates in particular on argumentation, carefully explaining how descriptions of nominal group, verbal group and clause systems and structures are motivated, and draws on examples from key texts which display a full range of ideational, interpersonal and textual grammar resources. By working across three world languages from a text-based perspective, and demonstrating how grammar descriptions can be developed and improved, the book establishes the foundations for a groundbreaking functional approach to language typology. For the first time, this book provides a usage-based model to for describing the grammar of languages, by applying Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) comparatively to English, Spanish and Chinese. Advancing SFL theory, it is essential reading for researchers and students of grammar within usage-based frameworks. This item is printed on demand.
