This first volume provides the necessary background through a discussion of the characteristics of functional theories, followed by a brief analysis of six approaches to language in the light of this discussion. These chapters lead to a characterization of a smaller set of 'structural-functional grammars', among which FG, RRG and SFG are central. An overview of each of these theories in relation to the simplex clause is then presented, followed by a more critical comparison. The remainder of the book deals with the structure and meaning of phrasal units, the representation of situations, and the treatment of tense, aspect, modality and polarity, across the three theories. A major feature of the book is the use of examples from corpora of English and other languages, which serve not only to exemplify theoretical and descriptive claims, but also at times to challenge them. 410 0$aStudies in language companion series ;$vv. 63. 606 $aStructural linguistics 606 $aFunctionalism (Linguistics) 606 $aRole and reference grammar 606 $aSystemic grammar 615 0$aStructural linguistics. 615 0$aFunctionalism (Linguistics) 615 0$aRole and reference grammar. 615 0$aSystemic grammar. 676 $a410/.1/8 700 $aButler$b Christopher$f1945-$0156456 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823951303321 996 $aApproaches to the simplex clause$93995653 997 $aUNINA
