Applying English Grammar.: Corpus and Functional Approaches

This edited collection is about the application of English grammar and specializes in "functional" and "corpus" approaches, approaches which are increasingly recognized as providing significant insights into English language in action. It aims to stimulate interest and understanding of grammar
as an applied tool not just for grammarians or language learners, but for all those interested in how language is organized to shape our view of events in the world. Chapters comprise both newly commissioned and previously published works that illustrate the two methodological approaches to
grammatical analysis and how they can be applied to deepen our understanding of language.
