In a period of change in the communication landscape and widening disciplinary knowledge, this book provides a new reconceptualization of grammar. Drawing on resources in systemic functional linguistics, it envisions a ‘functional grammatics’ relevant to disciplinary domains such as literary study, rhetoric and multimodality. It provides an account of grammatics that is useful to interpretation and beneficial for language development. This text is founded on decades of research inspired by systemic functional linguistics, including studies of grammatical tools useful to teachers of English, research into visual and multimodal literacies and studies of the genre-grammar connection.
