The term 'hybridity' has been around for a long time and, for most
of its history of use, has been pressed into the most disparate -
and often dubious - services. In recent times it has become a sort
of transdisciplinary 'buzz word' and it was about time that
Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) also raised its voice on the
subject. This volume addresses the increasingly typical hybrid
nature of text and discourse. In an SFL perspective, this also
means that cultural and situational contexts must be seen as being
always potentially hybrid or, as Hasan has fittingly put it,
'permeable', such permeability being based on the powerful
activation/construal dialectic between discursive situation and
language, system and instance. The authors of the papers in this
collection variously focus on hybridity within sociocultural
contexts in which discourse occurs, investigate hybridity of
discourse types (in a wide range of genres, registers, text-types,
etc.), but also examine hybridity within the stratum of
lexicogrammar itself. Moreover, the implications of hybridity for
education and the professions are explored.The volume makes plain
the multifaceted complexity of the phenomenon, as well as its rich
potential as a theoretical construct in SFL
