About this ebook
Systemic Functional Linguistics and the Individual takes as its central point that language should be studied as a social semiotic. The focus on language as a reflection of society has meant that traditionally there has been less focus upon language as a reflection of the individual in work within this linguistic framework. This collection brings together contributions from researchers who all discuss the role of the individual in systemic functional linguistic application and theory. The chapters in this volume either discuss cognitive factors in systemic functional language study or discuss meaning making at an individual instead of solely a collective level. This is illustrated through applications to education, AI, translation, and identity construction alongside more theoretical discussions.
This volume will be of interest to researchers in functional linguistics, psychosocial theories of language and individual variation in language. This collection will show researchers advances that have been made in incorporating alterative viewpoints and less frequently discussed issues within systemic functional linguistics. In doing so, it hopes to inspire further work in similar areas.
