This book describes the discourse of biology from a systemic
functional linguistic perspective. It offers a detailed description
of resources based on text analysis. The description reveals
co-textual patterns of language features, their expressions through
grammatical resources, as well as their functions in the
disciplinary context. The book also applies the description to
analyse student texts in undergraduate biology, revealing
characteristics of language and knowledge development. Although the
discussion in this book focuses on the discourse of biology, both
the language description and the descriptive principle can be used
to inform the examination of knowledge in academic discourse in
general, making this key reading for students and researchers in
systemic functional linguistics, discourse analysis, English for
academic purposes, applied linguistics, and science education.
