Synopsis

Linguists honor Michael Halliday, with papers organized in relation to sections of his An Introduction to Functional Grammar , applying his principles to languages other than English. Part I contains sections on textual, interpersonal, and experiential meaning and form. Part II looks at time and tense, and lexis and the nominal group. Part III and IV discuss the concept of cohesive harmony, and the value of Halliday's work in machine translation. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
