Book Description: Functional Grammar is a linguistic theory in which language is regarded intrinsically as a vehicle of communicative interaction. As such, it has a strongly pragmatic orientation, and this book presents the results of some of the most recent research into pragmatics within the Functional Grammar framework. A good deal of attention is paid in particular to the treatment of discourse-level phenomena - manifestations of communication that extend beyond sentences and involve the speaker's intentions and the interlocutors' expectations. The Plot: In a world where technology is constantly evolving at an unprecedented rate, it is crucial for humanity to understand the process of technological development and its impact on society. The book 'Discourse and Pragmatics in Functional Grammar [FGS]' highlights the need for individuals to develop a personal paradigm for perceiving the technological process of developing modern knowledge. This paradigm is essential for survival, as it allows people to adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing world. The book begins by exploring the concept of functional grammar, which views language as a tool for communicative interaction rather than just a means of conveying information.
