Discourse, Technology and Change

Covers both applied linguistics and systemic functional linguistics.

The way the author attempts to integrate macro and micro approaches to text analysis , especially in the study of social change, is fascinating ... The canvas of this book is broad and amazing: it attracts scholars drawn from discourse studies, rhetoric, organization studies, management and technology studies, English and Language Teaching (ELT), and technology practitioners and researchers in technical communication, professional communication, public relations, technology management and information technology.
[Faber] is building the groundings for the next stage of work in this area
This work is going to be important both as an analysis and as a model for how this sort of analysis should be done
