Halliday: System and Function in Language : Selected Papers

Reference

Halliday, M.A.K.

Foreign Language Study & Reference

Oxford Univ. Pr.

This books identifies the important differences between speaking and writing. Halliday leads the reader from the development of speech in infancy, through an account of writing systems, to a comparative treatment of spoken and written language, contrasting the prosodic features and grammatical intricacy of speech with the high lexical density and grammatical metaphor or writing.

Spoken and Written Language (Language Education)

Christie, Frances

Oxford University Press

This study deals with the linguistic study of texts as a way of understanding how language functions in its immensely varied range of social contexts. The authors adopt a functional approach to language, in which the different registers or functional varieties of a language are explained by reference to the different contexts in which they occur. Their analysis reveals how, on the one hand, each text is unique, while on the other, the way a text is organized and the kinds of coherence it displays are closely related to the place and the value that it has in its social and cultural environment.

Language, Context, and Text: Aspects of Language in a Social-Semiotic Perspective (Language Education)

Literature & Fiction

Hasan, Ruqaiya

History & Criticism

This revised edition of the classic treatment of its subject presents an outline of the grammar of modern English in the framework of systemic-functional linguistic theory and serves as an introduction to functional theory in general, which can be used for describing any language in its own terms. The description of English presented here has been widely used in a number of applied linguistics contexts, particularly artificial intelligence and language education, both second language and mother tongue, but also in literary stylistics and other fields requiring a rich interpretation of the text.

An Introduction to Functional Grammar

Hodder Education Publishers

In this extensively revised third edition, Halliday and Matthiessen retain the organization and topical coverage of the earlier editions, while incorporating a considerable amount of new material. They give greater emphasis to the systemic perspective, in which grammaticalization is understood in the context of an overall model of language. Their description of grammar is grounded in a comprehensive theory, but it is a theory which evolves in the process of being applied.

Matthiessen, Christian M.I.M.

Learning How to Mean: Explorations in the Development of Language (Explorations in Language Study)

Hodder Arnold

El lenguaje no es un mero reflejo metafórico de la realidad social ni un ingrediente expresivo de é es el vínculo semiótico que produce y renueva los significados culturales y los significantes discursivos, los mensajes complejos de un momento histórico. Los ensayos reunidos de Halliday reflejan una indagación a fondo dentro de este abigarrado fenómeno.

Language As Social Semiotic

Politics & Social Sciences

Social Sciences

This book is about the use of language in the science classroom. It discusses the evolution of scientific discourse for learning in secondary schools, and examines the form and function of language across a variety of levels including lexiogrammar, discourse semantics, register, genre and ideology. Special attention is paid to how this knowledge is imparted. It will be of particular interest to educators involved with linguistics and/or science curriculum and teachers of English for special and academic purposes.; It is aimed at teachers of undergraduates in science and literacy, linguists teaching in English for special and academic purposes and students in higher education with an interest in science and literacy.
