基本説明
New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2006. The first grammar of French to provide an overall account of the language from a systemic functional perspective, provides multiple pathways for exploring how meaning (both first-order and second-order) is both construed and constructed by lexicogrammatical patterns in texts.
Full Description
'[The] consistent interplay between theoretical and applied pursuits has always been a defining feature of systemic functional theory...This kind of mutual enrichment is clearly demonstrated in Alice Caffarel's work. The result is a description which penetrates to the heart of the language, revealing it at one and the same time as a specimen of the human semiotic and a unique resource for the continuous creation of meaning.' Professor M A K Halliday, from the Preface.
