Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Michael Toolan, University of Birmingham, calls it "an invaluable presentation of, and rationale for, the central descriptive apparatus of Halliday's systemic-functional grammar of English... essential reading for all students of English textual structure, teeming with insights." Studies in Second Language Acquisition affirms it as essential for those interested in practical and theoretical grammar.

J.A. Foley, Assumption University, Bangkok, praises it, stating it is hard to imagine anyone in applied linguistics who does not recognise the immense insights this edition offers in viewing language from multiple perspectives. Its value for teachers and researchers is immeasurable.
