Sheeran, Frank, and Grammar


'Sheeran, Frank, and Grammar', or according to its abbreviation SFG, was created to bring people closer to the concept of the Nominal Group in grammar through pop genre songs of Ed Sheeran and Frank Sinatra.

In this blog, you will find the biography of the artists, a brief history of the pop genre and its characteristics, the definition of the concepts of grammar that will be studied in this project, the analysis of the lyrics of some songs, the comparison of the nominal groups of the songs of each artist and a reflection.  

We hope that this blog will greatly contribute to expanding the knowledge of Systemic Functional Grammar and that the songs provide a way of acquiring knowledge easily with a dynamic learning process. 

Who we are
We are students of English Philology at Universidad Nacional of Colombia.
We are excited to share our knowledge in Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG) and bring you closer to the study of grammar in a dynamic way through songs by artists such as Frank Sinatra and Ed Sheeran.
