Tackles everyday real-life language-related problems in diverse social, professional and academic contexts. This title features chapters that use systemic functional linguistic theory to engage with issues of translation, education, language teaching/learning, multimodality, media, social policy and action and positive discourse analysis. [The chapters] pose interesting questions that could be food for thought for textbook writers because they challenge current articulations of SFL to incorporate the dynamic nature of images and image interpretation...The book is also recommended for those who are conducting research on genre studies or sociolinguistics.
