'Coffin's functional linguistics perspective provides a rigorous
and comprehensive analysis of the texts of secondary school
history, both those that students read and those they need to learn
to write. This is an original and welcome contribution to debates
about how to develop students' historical understanding' -
Professor Mary Schleppegrell, University of Michigan. 'This book
makes a major contribution to the study of historical discourse and
while it will be of interest to teachers of history, it will in
addition be of considerable interest to those who work in discourse
studies generally- linguists, applied linguists and educational
linguists.' - Frances Christie, Emeritus Professor, University of
Melbourne and Honorary Professor, University of Sydney. "Historical
Discourse" analyses the importance of the language of time, cause
and evaluation in both texts which students at secondary school are
required to read, and their own writing for assessment. In contrast
to studies which have denied that history has a specialised
language, Caroline Coffin demonstrates through a detailed study of
historical texts, that writing about the past requires different
genres, lexical and grammatical structures. In this analysis,
language emerges as a powerful tool for making meaning in
historical writing. Presupposing no prior knowledge of systemic
functional linguistics, this insightful book will be of interest to
researchers in applied linguistics and discourse analysis, as well
as history educators.
