More about the book

Focusing on functional linguistics, the book critiques the standard account of tense and aspect in English as presented by Halliday and Matthiessen. Through evidence from a corpus linguistics project, the author argues that their framework does not meet established functionalist criteria, highlighting the need for revision and expansion. Aimed at practitioners and researchers, it encourages a reevaluation of existing theories in the field.
