Böcker av M.A.K. Halliday

Intonation in the Grammar of English is written for scholars who are interested in language, but not necessarily linguists or phoneticians. The introduction covers speech sound, locating it in relation to other phenomena and disciplines, discusses its representation and interpretation, and introduces the systems and strata which frame its analysis in terms of systemic functional linguistics.

Discusses the evolution of scientific discourse for learning in secondary schools and examines the form and function of language across a variety of levels including lexiogrammar, discourse semantics and register, genre and ideology. Special attention is paid to how this knowledge is imparted.

Halliday's Introduction to Functional Grammar, Fourth Edition, is the standard reference text for systemic functional linguistics and an ideal introduction for you, whether you are an undergraduate or postgraduate interested in the relation between grammar, meaning and discourse.
