This workbook is the culmination of a project initiated in the early 1980s by Jim Martin and Clare Painter, who was joined in the endeavor by Christian Matthiessen in 1988. We three were all concerned to provide support materials for students and colleagues who were learning the analyses proposed in Halliday's Introduction to Functional Grammar. In particular, we shared the experience of guiding students through familiar kinds of difficulties year after year – and wanted to prepare materials that would help learners through and around these experiences. We also wanted to provide some support for people learning the grammar on their own, or without the dialogue provided by a critical mass of systemic linguists such as we enjoy in the Sydney metropolitan region.
