Focusing on the phenomenon of projection in English, the book delves into Halliday's systemic functional linguistics (SFL) model to clarify the grammatical roles of projecting and projected clauses. It examines their distribution features in contemporary language and traces their evolution over time, providing a detailed exploration of both synchronic and diachronic aspects of this linguistic phenomenon.

Focusing on functional syntax, this book offers a groundbreaking exploration of grammatical metaphor in English clause combining through extensive corpus analysis. It systematically illustrates key features like parataxis, hypotaxis, and embedding, addressing a significant gap in systemic functional literature. Additionally, it provides valuable insights into testing grammatical metaphors using corpus linguistics methodologies, making it an essential resource for those interested in writing development.
