The Routledge Handbook of Systemic Functional Linguistics

brings together internationally renowned scholars of systemic functional linguistics (SFL) to provide a space for critical examination of the key tenets underpinning SFL theory. 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.

The Routledge Handbook of Systemic Functional Linguistics Reviews

The Handbook is to be highly recommended for its wide coverage of the major areas of SFL, its up-to-date discussion on SFL and its inclusion of the different schools in SFL.
