This volume gathers together 14 interviews with M A K Halliday, the
founder of systemic functional linguistics (SFL), recorded over
four decades - the most recent of which was conducted in 2011 and
published here for the first time. In these engaging conversations
with colleagues Halliday explores his own development as a student
of language in Britain and China, the evolution of SFL theory
around the world, its place in the field of general linguistics and
its many sites of application. The dialogic mode enacted here
allows Halliday to touch on many points of personal history and
intellectual challenge that have not been addressed in formal
publications (in his books or collected papers), including answers
to the many thought-provoking questions his colleagues had waited
sometimes years to ask. Accordingly each chapter offers a fresh
illuminating window on the innovative thinking and assured
convictions of this towering figure in linguistics.
