Functional Grammar (FG) as set out by Simon Dik is the ambitious combination of a functionalist approach to the study of language with a consistent formalization of the underlying structures which it recognizes as relevant. The present volume represents the attempts made within the FG framework to expand the theory so as to cover a wider empirical domain than is usual for highly formalized linguistic theories, namely that of written and spoken discourse, while retaining its methodological precision.
The Economist claims it "is not a chronicle of economics." Rather, it aims "to take part in a severe contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress." It takes an editorial stance which is supportive of free trade, globalisation, government health and education spending, as well as other, more limited forms of governmental intervention. It targets highly educated readers and claims an audience containing many influential executives and policy-makers.

Don Quixote - Cervantes
Here are two renditions of well-known novel, Don Quixote, by Cervantes. Both of them are highly reliable. The earlier translation by John Ormsby has a classic tinge, accompanied by Gustave Doré's fine illustrations, and of course takes you much more time to peruse (but the pleasure you get out of this engagement is surely worth it!). The second translation is a modern and more easily digestible one by Edith Grossman, which has been highly praised. This rendition is prefaced by prolific literary critic Harold Bloom
Due to the embedded illustrations in Ormsby's rendition, the size of the files is rather large.
