This book offers a systemic-functional account of Spanish, and analyses how Spanish grammatical forms compare and contrast with those of English. The authors analyse Spanish according to the three main 'metafunctions': ideational, interpersonal, and textual.

The result is a comprehensive examination of Spanish grammar from the clause upwards. Presupposing little or no knowledge of Spanish, this book will be of interest to researchers in Spanish language, systemic functional linguistics or contrastive linguistics.

The volume on Stance and Inter/Subjectivity, and Identity in Discourse focuses on the multifaceted nature of stance, and the use of a variety of resources of epistemicity, effectivity, and evaluation and metaphor. The contributions feature studies on the theory and use of these stance resources in various languages and discourse domains and genres.
