Recenzje

"Women in Social Semiotics and SFL- Making a Difference is an inspirational read on the academic possibilities and theoretical power (and perhaps limits) of social semiotics and SFL in the past and in the future. As such, the volume is of interest both to scholars already working in social semiotics and SFL, and to those curious about it. Beyond this, the interviews provide fascinating personal narratives about the interviewees' personal academic trajectories and how these are shaped by the people and the ideas crossing their paths, often in serendipitous ways."
-Lene Nordrum, Language, Context and Text
