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\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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, in, for example, language education, cultural studies, stylistics, and women's studies. The book 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Suzanne Eggins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826457878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826457875\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continuum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.94h x 6.66w x 1.07d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2006 pg. 270","brand":"Suzanne Eggins","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453418385663,"sku":"9780826457875","price":375.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5dbf06a9-c99e-47bc-9ea7-e73f15cf7340.jpg?v=1777300111","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/introduction-to-systemic-functional-linguistics-suzanne-eggins-9780826457875","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
