Meaning in Context: Implementing Intelligent Applications of Language Studies

Editat de Jonathan J. Webster
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 apr 2008
Meaning in Context collects some of the biggest names in systemic functional linguistics in one volume, and shows how this theory can be applied to language studies 'intelligently', in order to arrive at a better understanding of how meaning is constructed in language. The chapters use systemic functional theory to examine a range of issues including corpus linguistics, multimodality, language technology, world Englishes and language evolution.
This forward-thinking volume will be of interest to researchers in applied linguistics and systemic functional linguistics.

Recenzii

"Not many linguistics put their theory on the line and purposefully re/design it for the applications it needs to serve. This group of scholars does so, par excellence, across such diverse arenas as education, computer science, language policy and medicine. East meets West in a series of insightful discussions befitting the launch of the Halliday Centre for Intelligent Applications of Language Studies at City University Hong Kong"
