English Tense and Aspect in Halliday's Systemic Functional Grammar

Více o knize

Focusing on functional linguistics, the book critically examines Halliday and Matthiessen's account of tense and aspect in English, arguing that it does not meet established functionalist standards. Drawing on evidence from a corpus linguistics project, the author, Bache, identifies several shortcomings in the standard model and advocates for its revision and expansion. This work serves as a valuable resource for practitioners and researchers seeking a deeper understanding of functionalist approaches to linguistics.
