.. .This book is a user-friendly introduction to analyzing language using the functional grammar approach... I certainly recommend this book as a resource to be used by instructors teaching from a functional grammar perspective and as a self-study guide for those independent students who are comfortable investigating queries on their own. --Karin Keefe, TESL Canada Journal, Vol. 32(2)
