Default Re: Traditional versus Functional Grammar
Tdol,
I agree completely with you - scrape away.......etc. My favourite grammar book is 'Understanding English Grammar' by Kolln & Funk - now in 7th. edition.
How about you? I have tried many textbooks and approaches in Japan and am still looking for a better way. Some elements of Systemic Functional Linguistics help. What works best for you?
