Applying Systemic Functional Linguistics by Xuanwei Peng
Applying Systemic Functional Linguistics: The State of the Art in China Today showcases new work from leading scholars in China, as well as offering perspectives on this work from M.A.K. Halliday and Jim Martin. The range of topics covers graphology/phonology, lexis, group and clause, clause complex, text, typology, semiotics, multimodality, stylistics, translation, and teaching. Not only will this book introduce the latest research into language and multimodal discourse being undertaken by scholars in China today, but also suggest the way forward in terms of where linguistics should be going if the aim is (still) to create 'the innovative producers of social semiotic theory, description and practice the world rightfully expects from the intellectual superpower China is economically positioned to become' (Jim Martin). This book is essential reading for scholars involved with systemic functional linguistics and interested in its shifting dynamics.
This volume is a meticulous and valuable resource of articulating the state of the art of SFL in China for the linguists and the students who are fascinated with Chinese and/or SFLThe contributors not only lead the way to SFL founded by Halliday ... but also show their specific scenes that they have cultivated rooted in China. The 21 papers illustrate the insightful points of the developments of SFL in different areas in China as to be considered as an invaluable academic collection. * Linguistics and the Human Sciences *
