The second edition of this popular textbook provides readers with a
foundation in methods for analysing and understanding language from
various theoretical perspectives within linguistics and language
studies. Its novel approach introduces systemic functional
linguistics, text and discourse analysis, and formal approaches to
linguistics. It demonstrates applications of these approaches to
reveal how we use language in society, how our brains process
language, and how we learn language. The main language focused on
is English, while other languages are also drawn on to illustrate
the principles, models and theories. Learning outcomes, exercises
(with answer key), ideas for project work, and questions for
reflection are provided throughout. A final chapter gathers
explanations of various fields of practice within linguistics,
written by linguists from around the world. The second edition
includes added explanations, examples and exercises, updated
references and web links and an expanded number of entries in the
glossary.It also provides a new configuration of the material
related to syntax and lexico-grammar, giving readers the
opportunity to see more clearly the contrasts between formal and
functional analyses and to understand the differences in these
views of language, leading to a stronger grasp of how language
'works' within the brain and within society. It includes new
material on analysing texts for interpersonal and evaluative
meanings, and on analysing multimodal texts for meaning provided
from combinations of verbal language and visual modes, providing an
increased range of text and discourse analytical tools.
