Language: history & general works; Applied linguistics for ELT

This user-friendly student guide is the essential resource for all those engaged in studying systemic functional linguistics (SFL).

Assuming no prior knowledge, this guide is divided into nine chapters which can be read independently of one another and used for purposes of reference. The reading section maps out and mediates the key SFL literature. The application guides show how SFL has been and can be applied to various domains, from translation to healthcare communication. The term guides demystify the core terminology and the vocabulary guides aid readers in dealing with the most commonly used terms in text analysis.

Systemic Functional Linguistics is an invaluable guidebook for all those studying functional grammar and SFL within linguistics, applied linguistics and related courses.

Reviews for Systemic Functional Linguistics: A Complete Guide

An invaluable in-depth account of virtually everything one ever sought to know about SFL and its many rich and often competing developments, and all in a single work. Not simply another introduction, handbook, companion or glossary – though it clearly and capably draws upon these ample resources – but rather an intensely user-directed ‘guide’ to more effective SFL research and application for both students and seasoned scholars. Truly and remarkably different in its rationale and reach. Donna R. Miller, University of Bologna, Italy This book is a must have. It is a very timely and needed resource which is certain to be of great interest to the entire SFL community. It is both a useful reference in itself, and a very welcome and balanced guide to SFL. It will be essential reading for researchers, teachers and students. Gerard O'Grady, Cardiff University, UK
