This book is an introduction to the life and seminal works of Halliday. Targeting both SFL and non-SFL scholars, this book introduces Halliday's life and work in simple terms, expounds his theoretical conceptions, illustrates how his theories have been applied to various areas of linguistics and offers additional readings for researchers who want to explore this area further.
Divided into six sections covering Hallidayan connections, theory and architecture of language, Hallidayan conceptions of language, systems and the modes of meaning, and applications of SFL, this accessible introduction is a key resource for researchers and students within the fields of linguistics and applied linguistics.
Reviews / Votes
A very exciting volume offering an important contribution to linguistics through its encyclopaedic tour of Halliday's theory, his influences and the fields he influenced. The breadth of coverage is impressive, complemented by an equally impressive reference list. This dip-in entry-style volume will keep readers coming back for years.Lise Fontaine, Cardiff University, UK
With all that has been written by and about M.A.K. Halliday, there is really nothing quite like this volume available today.
From the foreword by Donna R. Miller, University of Bologna, Italy

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
