The Routledge Handbook of Systemic Functional Linguistics

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.
