Sažetak

Mathematical textbooks, as part of a potentially implemented curriculum have been increasingly analysed, mostly from the point of their structural features, performance expectations and mathematical content. In the previous work, we have performed such kind of analysis of Croatian mathematical textbooks for the 4th grade of secondary schools. During this process, the question of language used in the books came out. In this paper, we use the framework proposed by Lisa O’Keefe and John O’Donoghue (2014), based on the Halliday’s functional grammar analysis (Halliday (1985), Halliday and Martin (1993), Morgan (1998), to perform a preliminary analysis of two Croatian mathematical textbooks.
