{"product_id":"a-functional-discourse-grammar-for-english","title":"A Functional Discourse Grammar for English","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the first textbook on Functional Discourse Grammar, a recently developed theory of language structure which analyses utterances at four independent levels of grammatical representation: pragmatic, semantic, morphosyntactic and phonological. The book offers a very systematic and highly accessible introduction to the theory: following the top-down organization of the model, it takes the reader step-by-step though the various levels of analysis (from pragmatics\n\u003cbr\u003edown to phonology), while at the same time providing a detailed account of the interaction between these different levels. The many exercises, categorized according to degree of difficulty, ensure\n\u003cbr\u003ethat students are challenged to use the theory in a creative manner, and invite them to test and evaluate the theory by applying it to the new data in various linguistic contexts.Evelien Keizer uses examples from a variety of sources to demonstrate how the theory of Functional Discourse Grammar can be used to analyse and explain the most important functional and formal features of present-day English. The book also contains examples from a wide variety of other\n\u003cbr\u003etypologically diverse languages, making it attractive not only to students of English linguistics but to anyone interested in linguistic theory more generally.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46059768545518,"sku":"9780199571871","price":86.39,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780199571871.jpg?v=1736503592","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/a-functional-discourse-grammar-for-english","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
