Abstract:

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.
