This book showcases interviews with nine women who have made
pioneering contributions to social semiotics and systemic
functional linguistics (SFL), highlighting how these women have
taken the discipline into new and innovative directions, and the
enduring impact of their work. The volume features interviews with
a generation of scholars inspired by the prominent linguists
Michael Halliday and Ruqaiya Hasan in Sydney, reflecting on their
achievements in the advancement of theory, knowledge, and practical
application as well as the establishment of research centers in
different parts of the world. A consistent interview format helps
to illustrate the different directions the work of these scholars
has taken and their different takes on key concepts to the
discipline such as register, genre, text and context, and
multimodality. Taken together, the interviews offer insights into
key strands of social semiotic and SFL scholarship and give
inspiration toward moving the field into new theoretical and
applied directions. Reflecting on the groundbreaking work of
renowned women scholars in social semiotics and SFL and their
continued global impact, this book will be key reading for students
and scholars in these fields, as well as those in the areas of
language pedagogy, literacy, and multimodality.
M.A.K Halliday's work has been hugely influential in linguistics
and beyond since the 1960s. This is a collection of interviews with
key figures in the generation of social semioticians who have taken
Halliday's concept of social semiotics and developed it further in
various directions, making their own original contributions to
theory and practice. This book highlights their main lines of
thought and considers how they relate to both the original concept
of social semiotics and to each other. Key themes include:
Linguistic studies, multilinguality and evolution of language;
Text, discourse and classroom studies; Digital texts, computer
communication and science teaching; Multimodal text- and discourse
analysis; Education and literacy; Media work and visual and audio
modes; Critical Discourse Analysis. Featuring interviews with
leading figures from linguistics, education and communication
studies, a framing introduction and concluding chapter summing up
commonalities and differences, connections and conflicts and key
themes, this is essential reading for any scholar or student
working in the area of social semiotics and systemic functional
linguistics. Additional video resources are available on the
