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 down 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 that 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEvelien 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 typologically diverse languages, making it attractive not only to students of English linguistics but to anyone interested in linguistic theory more generally.","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46486507815063,"sku":"9780199571864","price":13323.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780199571864.jpg?v=1766330824","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/funct-discours-grammar-for-english-otl-c-9780199571864","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
