Description
Many people believe that grammar matters hugely. For some, grammar matters principally because it is important to adhere to standards of accurate, clear and correct usage. Some people believe that the presence or absence of grammatical errors says a lot about the writer (for example, errors can signal ‘laziness’) and can provoke strong reactions. Another reason for considering grammar to be an important area of study is that, combined with vocabulary choice, it is our main way of making meaning. Linguists have studied the relationship between word and grammar choices on one hand and meaning or function on the other. This free course, Grammar matters, introduces you to one particular way of understanding how meanings relate systematically to different aspects of grammar – the functional approach of Michael Halliday and others, known as Systemic Functional Linguistics or SFL – and shows how this deeper understanding can be applied to make everyday communication more effective.
