Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the application of systemic functional grammar, this book presents a comprehensive analysis of the Old English dialect from 650-1150 CE. It outlines the theory behind systemic functional grammar and explores the Old English clause through its three primary functions: representational, attitudinal, and text-formative. Additionally, it examines structures within nominal, verbal, and adverbial groups, as well as clause relationships and cohesion. This work serves both systemic functional grammarians and students seeking alternative explanations of Old English grammar.
