The Routledge Handbook of Systemic Functional Linguistics
brings together internationally renowned scholars of systemic functional linguistics (SFL) to provide a space for critical examination of the key tenets underpinning SFL theory. Uniquely, it includes deillegalscription 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 wide 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.
