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 this book
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 volume provides 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.
