This book shares the recent debates by systemic functional
linguistics and other linguistic forums. Its principal focus is on
how we use language to make meaning of the world, on how the
systems and structures of the ideational function of language
represent the realisation of our experiences of the world around
us. The volume captures the endeavours of scholars working in
different contexts, disciplines and languages around the world.
Their contributions explore what underlies experiential and logical
meaning-making through specific analyses of recently-created,
contextually diverse, single texts or collections of texts, from
mono- to multimodal texts. The issues addressed are: layers of
meaning through the transitivity system; agency and subjectivity;
what kinds of participants and circumstances are associated with
various processes and how these vary across languages; new ways of
researching and capturing the interaction of the experiential
function with the other functions of language - interpersonal,
textual and logical - in communicative contexts; and, how
multimodality and new ways of modelling experience semiotically
influence the work of linguists, linguistic description and
application. The book displays the dynamic dialogue on theoretical
and applied interests of scholars interested in functional
linguistics and working in a wide range of academic contexts. At
post-graduate level advanced students will benefit from new
perspectives, the innovative thinking and research accounts that
make up the collection. The papers highlight the flexibility of
systemic functional linguistic approach and exemplify how it can
offer deeper and further insights into potential ways of exploring
meaning-making by drawing on recent seminal developments in
ideation.
