New Discourse on Language addresses the need for innovative analyses of multi-modal discourse, identity and affiliation within functional linguistics. The chapters in this volume are connected by their common underlying theoretical approach, Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), and by their focus on semantic variation (across modalities of communication and between speakers) as well as the negotiation of identity and affiliation.
The analyses focus on a diverse range of texts from very different contexts, using analytic techniques that are based on the latest research in this field. They represent a wealth of exploratory, innovative and challenging perspectives, and are a key contribution to the extension of systemic-functional theory to the analysis of multimodality, identity and affiliation.
The volume is of interest to linguists, applied linguists, semioticians, and communication theorists.
Martin and Bednarek address the need for innovative analyses of multi-modal discourse, identity and affiliation within functional linguistics.
Recenzijas
"This book, by a group of highly talented young scholars, gives us a glimpse of what multimodal discourse analysis might come to look like in the first half of the 21st century." - Professor Theo van Leeuwen, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia Bednarek's volume is a welcome corpus-assisted contribution to the study of television from which scholars and students of linguistics, media and cultural studies will much benefit. Informative, clear and subtle it is a very pleasant read for the corpus neophyte and for the corpus linguist alike. Applied Linguistics
