Grammar, Mind and Ideology

This new book will review two models of grammar in CDA - Chomsky's Transformational Grammar in early Critical Linguistics and Halliday's Systemic Functional Grammar as the theoretical mainstay of most CDA - and explore, within the Cognitive Linguistic Approach, the efficacy of Langacker's Cognitive Grammar as an alternative theoretical framework for CDA.
