Tomlin's grammar looks at why language is structured the way it is by focusing on how thoughts become words. It borrows ideas from functional grammar to understand what drives language creation. However, it only looks at how language is made, might end up going in circles, doesn't clearly explain how different parts of grammar work, and lacks some important concepts.
