This study aims to investigate different aspects of grammar in six textbooks designed for the Swedish course 2 in Upper secondary school. The study also intends to examine the textbooks representation of traditional and functional perspectives on grammar by using the method discourse analysis with both qualitative and quantitative aspects. The results show that both the traditional and functional perspective on grammar is presented in all textbooks, but that the traditional perspective is the most common in the majority of them. The results also show that the phonology, morphology and syntactic aspects of grammar are represented in all textbooks to varying degrees. The conclusion of this study shows that the textbooks that actualize grammar the most is Fixa svenskan, Svenska helt enkelt and Formativ svenska while the textbooks Svenska rum and Svenska impulser actualize grammar the least. Furthermore, the study shows that the majority of the textbooks have more elements of the traditional perspective on grammar than the functional perspective, although both perspectives are presented in all of the textbooks.
