Grammar and Ideology in Discourse

Chris is currently working on a book examining different theories of grammar in Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), from Chomsky's Transformational Grammar in Critical Linguistics to Halliday's Systemic Functional Grammar as the theoretical mainstay of most approaches to CDA. The book will further explore the potential of Langacker's Cognitive Grammar as a useful framework for CDA.
