Prototypical Transitivity (Typological Studies in Language)

This book presents a functional analysis of a notion which has gained considerable importance in cognitive and functional linguistics over the last couple of decades, namely 'prototypical transitivity'. It discusses what prototypical transitivity is, why it should exist, and how it should be defined, as well as how this definition can be employed in the analysis of a number of phenomena of language, such as case-marking, experiencer constructions, and so-called ambitransitives. Also discussed is how a prototype analysis relates to other approaches to transitivity, such as that based on markedness.

Teaching anв learning functional English

The aim of Functional English is to ensure learners have a good command of communication skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening, and can apply these skills in everyday situations.
Functional English is often the first accredited qualification a learner attains in English. It can be used to help prepare students for their GCSEs and many schools use Functional Skills as a replacement for SATs.

English Zone makes learning English simple. It uses a step-by-step approach to help students build a clear knowledge of grammar and a solid vocabulary base, then activates students' knowledge through skills work and functional dialogues.
