English Grammar

Ever since its publication, the book has been used in many countries in South America,
the Middle East and Europe, including of course Spain, to whose tertiary education
systems both authors devoted the majority of their working lives. Downing and Locke’s
grammar, while clearly rooted in Hallidayan linguistics, also responds to a number of
other influences, including the grammars of Quirk and his colleagues. However, it also
made its own important contribution to our knowledge and understanding of many
points of English grammar, and has been widely cited by scholars working within
functional linguistics.
