本书旨在讲授及实践国际知名语言学家韩礼德所设计的多种语法分析方法,是一部适用于教学和应用方面的工具书。本书与韩礼德所著的《功能语法入门》(Introduction to Functiona1 Grammar)第二版和第三版相互参照。本书总结介绍了韩礼德关于小句复合体、分句、语义组和短句语法的主要观点,阐明了普遍被视为艰深的课题,并附有一系列分级练习,供学生演练学习语法分析技巧用。此外,本书另有一章将上述语法分析同韩礼德富有创意的话语分析、语域及文体方面的研究工作相结合。
任何对功能语言学篇章分析有兴趣的人士以及希望把韩礼德对语法的真知灼见加以实践的人士,都会发现本书是一本理想读物。本书可单独用作教科书讲授功能语法的课程,亦可配合韩礼德所著的《功能语法入门》(Introduction to Functional Grammar)或其他相关入门书籍使用。阅读本书无需先熟悉功能语法方面的知识,其读者对象不仅是初学者,也包括对语言学专门知识及对韩礼德的著作熟悉程度各异的其他读者。
