This volume examines and outlines a Systemic Functional Linguistic
(SFL) model of discourse analysis and its relationship to New
Testament Greek. The book reflects upon how SFL has grown as a
field since it was first introduced to New Testament Greek studies
by Stanley E. Porter in the 1980s. Porter and Matthew Brook
O’Donnell first introduce basic concepts regarding discourse
analysis and the major approaches towards it within New Testament
studies. They then provide a detailed exploration of discourse
analysis in terms of the textual metafunction, beginning with an
introduction to the architecture of language within SFL, before
exploring several individual elements within it. By focusing upon
these individual components – in particular, theme and
information structure, markedness and prominence, and coherence and
cohesive harmony – Porter and O’Donnell introduce and exemplify
the major resources of the textual metafunction.
