The Routledge Handbook of Systemic Functional Linguistics

Uniquely, it includes description 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.
