The two volume set Continuing Discourse on Language offers the
reader a selective account of the evolution of important aspects of
Halliday's Systemic Functional Linguistics over the last couple of
decades. The range of topics covered includes not only certain
fundamental concepts at the level of theory but also an account of
the wide range of applications enabled by the descriptive framework
that the theory has generated. Given its acclaimed perspective on
language as social semiotic, SFL has always located semiotic
activity in relation to human life: in the chapters of these two
volumes internationally recognised authors attempt to show the ways
in which SFL relates to recent research on cognition, on
socio-cultural contexts, and in computational linguistics. A theory
is only as good as the description and application it enables:
conceptualising the relations of theory and practice as a
dialectic, SFL has created a framework for the analysis of language
from the level of cultural context to that of the media for
semiotic expressions. Continuing Discourse on Language gives the
reader an insight into the continuing evolution of the impressive
range of frames of description and their applications: from
typology to multi-modality, from models of discourse analysis to
translation and stylistics, from the role of language in knowledge
construal to language education, genre based pedagogy and web based
learning, the two volumes together provide a rich resource for
students and researchers in language study for understanding,
practicing and applying a linguistics keenly aware of the role of
language in social life.
