Opis

The Routledge Handbook of Systemic Functional Linguistics brings together internationally renowned systemic functional linguistics (SFL) scholars to provide a space for critical examination of the key tenets underpinning SFL theory. Uniquely it includes description of the three main strands within contemporary SFL scholarship: Halliday s Introduction to Functional Grammar, Martin s discourse semantics and Fawcett s Cardiff Grammar. In five sections and thirty-eight interdisciplinary chapters, this is the first handbook to cover the whole architecture of SFL theory, comprising:

• the ontology and epistemology of SFL;
• SFL as a clause grammar;
• lexicogrammar below the clause, and SFL s approach to constituency;
• SFL s vibrant theory of language above the clause; and
• SFL as a theory of praxis with real-world applications.

With a range of language examples, a comprehensive editors introduction and a section on further reading, The Routledge Handbook of Systemic Functional Linguistics is an essential resource for all those studying and researching SFL or functional grammar."
