Christian M.I.M. Matthiessen authored 'Lexicogrammatical Cartography' in 1995, a comprehensive 700-page study of English grammatical systems from a systemic functional linguistics perspective.

'Lexicogrammatical Cartography' systematically maps English grammar by integrating lexicon and grammar into a coherent functional framework, elaborating on Halliday’s systemic functional linguistics (SFL). This work emphasizes language as a probabilistic system of choices rather than fixed rules, offering detailed cartographies of English clause and phrase structure.
