I would also be interested in anything available on CD-ROM. Hi, Johanna, I too hesitate to blow my own horn, at least in this public forum, but the textbook I co-authored with Mary Epes, Mastering Written English, now in its 5th edition from Prentice Hall, is based on a comprehensive functional grammar which has been developed over about 20 years and the four previous editions. It uses a practical (and practice-based) approach which is very far indeed from the theoretical. You might find it interesting and/of useful; many students have. Particularly interesting, I think, is our approach to syntax, which can be seen more fully developed in a new book, Mastering Written Sentences, due out at the end of the year. Michael G.
