This collection of papers, with their focus on social change in
different settings and through a wide range of voices, offers a
fresh view of both Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and
Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), and, ultimately, the
relationship between the two. In the Theoretical Section, the
authors explore ways to study social, political, and economic
transformations; in the Applied Section, the authors examine the
effects of social change on national and institutional identities.
In each of these papers, the examination of the 'social' is in
addition to, but not in place of, thorough linguistic analyses of
discursive events. One of the main purposes of the collection is to
make explicit the connections between SFL and CDA - two approaches
to the study of language. This volume is the first to make explicit
this connection so that novices as well as experienced researchers
examining the two fields under "one microscope" can more fully
understand how they are related and how CDA can draw on analytical
tools rooted in SFL. The book has several aims: to extend the
connections between SFL and CDA; to provide analyses of social
change that are rooted in linguistic theory and methodology,
specifically SFL which provides a solid analytical foundation that
helps researchers avoid ideological bias; to critically analyse
discursive material that includes, but is not limited to, media;
and finally to offer a broad range of international perspectives on
the role of discourse in changing social practices and patterns.
