Analyses the importance of the language of time, cause and evaluation in both texts which students at secondary school are required to read, and their own writing for assessment. This book demonstrates through a study of historical texts, that writing about the past requires different genres, lexical and grammatical structures.

Bridges the gap between traditional and functional grammar. Starting with a traditional approach, this title helps students develop a firm grasp of traditional tools for analysis and learn how SFG (Systemic Functional grammar) can be used to enrich the traditional formal approach. It is suitable for upper undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Deals with the application of English grammar and specialises in 'functional' and 'corpus' approaches, approaches which are recognised as providing insights into English language in action. This book aims to stimulate interest and understanding of grammar as an applied tool.

Drawing on writing research, the book takes into account recent developments such as the increasing diversity of the student body, the use of the Internet, electronic tuition and issues surrounding globalisation.
