Description
This book offers a systemic-functional account of Spanish, and analyses how Spanish grammatical forms compare and contrast with those of English. The authors analyse Spanish according to the three main 'metafunctions': ideational, interpersonal, and textual.
The result is a comprehensive examination of Spanish grammar from the clause upwards. Presupposing little or no knowledge of Spanish, this book will be of interest to researchers in Spanish language, systemic functional linguistics or contrastive linguistics.
Reviews
This work is welcome as a long-awaited comprehensive account of the Spanish clausal resources inspired by the work conducted by M.A.K. Halliday and his colleagues on English. -- Linguist
