Functional English Grammar: An Introduction for Second Language Teachers (Cambridge Language Education)
'This highly academic, yet practical approach to grammar makes a very stimulating read, and expressly illustrates how "grammar lies at the heart of communication".'  From Spoken English, 1997'This book presents grammar as a functional resource for creating meaning.  It assumes no previous knowledge of English grammar, yet as an introduction it is pretty thorough.'  'This book is practical, with its feet firmly on the ground; it is positive and thought-provoking, and merits inclusion in any TD SIG member's library.'    Teacher Development No. 35, 1997
