An approach which views language as a strategic, meaning-making resource, systemic linguistics focuses on the analysis of authentic, everyday texts, and asks both how people use language to make meanings, and how language itself is organised to enable those meanings to be made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book offers both an overview of systemic theory and illustrations of how systemic techniques can be applied in the analysis of everyday texts. Written for students who may have little or no formal knowledge of linguistics, it covers most of the major concepts in systemic linguistics. In addition, it introduces readers to Halliday's functional grammatical analysis of English clauses, and presents the essentials of the systemic analysis of cohesive patterns in text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith its systemic theory of the relationship between language and context, systemic linguistics has applications in many fields where an understanding of how language functions to transmit social structure is important, such as language education, cultural studies, stylistics, and women's studies. \u003cem\u003eIntroduction to Systemic Functional Linguistics\u003c\/em\u003e provides an accessible first step into systemics for those who wish to equip themselves with the conceptual and practical tools to analyse and explain how people make meanings with each other in everyday contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470896251116,"sku":"9780826457868","price":174.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780826457868-introduction-to-systemic-functional-linguistics.jpg?v=1775229945"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/dr-suzanne-eggins.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
