Summary

Working with Functional Grammar is a workbook designed to teach and practice a wide range of grammatical analyses provided by M.A.K. Halliday in his Introduction to Functional Grammar . Halliday's influential work opened up the possibility of using grammar to explore how a text means what it does; this workbook will help students to understand Halliday's ideas and to apply them in the analysis of English texts.
