Abstract
The paper illustrates grammar as a meaning-making resource for early intermediate to advanced adult learners. It focuses on the environment of clause complexing, where different functions, such as Subject and Theme, are unified to construct a rhetorically oriented language logic. The paper suggests that learners’ awareness of this logic offers a gateway into discourse by enabling them to ‘think grammatically’.
