The Collected Works of Christian M.I.M. Matthiessen covers more
than 35 years of work by one of the world's leading scholars in the
systemic functional linguistics (SFL) school. It examines the
nature, functions and structure of human language from a number of
points of view within the framework of contemporary scientific
thought. The series is organized into a number of distinct topics
that reinforce each other, and together constitute a coherent,
cutting-edge body of theoretical and descriptive work. VOLUME 1
provides the foundation for the whole series of collected works,
and includes chapters that serve as introduction of and summaries
of Systemic Functional Linguistics. It is concerned with the nature
of systemic functional linguistics as theory, as framework and as a
school of linguistics. It includes an overview of the organization
or the architecture of language according to SFL and of the
lexicogrammatical subsystem of language, and of Halliday's
conception of language as a resource for making meaning. It is also
concerned with the history and development of SFL. A new chapter
written for this volume addresses the theme underpinning all
chapters in the volume: the challenge of theorizing language. It
introduces the metaphor of cartography, used by Matthiessen in his
work on language, as a way of mapping linguistic theory, showing
how all areas relate to one another.
