He is kind of a different type of linguist.

Yes. He's got some good points there with a quick glance at the contents.
Lexico-grammar and multimodality are stressed.

Adopting your suggestion, I tried Thunder just now, and it really worked well. How foolish I am, you see! Thank you, laohong.

By the way, I guess you may probably know Chen Bo, a teacher in Chongqing Jiaotong University, who told me that he met you in Singapore when learning there. Now I am working in where he is.
