Description

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 it also suggests a way forward in terms of where linguistics should be heading. The aim is 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, as Jim Martin expresses.

This book is essential reading for scholars involved with systemic functional linguistics and those interested in its shifting dynamics.
