SUMMER SCHOOL OF SYSTEMIC FUNCTIONAL LINGUISTICS:

Learning how to mean: transdisciplinary perspectives on
language in context

July 7-18, 1997

Glendon College, York University Toronto, Canada

PURPOSE:

The Summer School will bring together graduate students and
scholars in linguistics, psychology, psychiatry, comparative
primatology, philosophy, ethnomusicology, and anthropology with
an interest in a functional view of language and other semiotic
modalities, such as gesture, gaze, sign language, and visual
images.

OBJECTIVES:

By the end of the first week, participants will know: how the
Systemic Functional model organizes three different modes of
meaning in the lexico-grammar: the represention of experience,
the enactment of speaker/addressee relationships, and the
relation of language to the context in which it is unfolding.

By the end of the second week, participants will know: how the
Systemic Functional model organizes the three contextual
dimensions in which language operates: purposeful activity,
social interaction, and communicative event.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  * interact more effectively with scholars dealing with language in other
disciplines

  * move their research in new directions

  * participate actively in the 24th International Systemic Functional
Congress which immediately follows the Summer School.

LECTURES:

Morning lectures will introduce the Systemic Functional model.
Familiarity with this approach to language will not be assumed.

WORKSHOPS:

Fellows and course participants working together in small
afternoon workshops will take the theoretical concepts
introduced in the morning and use them to explore examples of
discourse currently being investigated in disciplines other than
linguistics.

FELLOWS:

Senior scholars in other disciplines along with Systemic
Functional linguists will participate as Fellows in the
workshops. Their role will be to make sure that the workshops
are challenged to address the transdisciplinary concerns of the
Summer School and Congress.

FACULTY:

David Butt, Rhondda Fahey, Sue Spinks (Macquarie University),
Jonathan Fine (Bar-Ilan University), Rosemary Tannoch (Hospital
for Sick Children), Paul Thibault (University of Venice), Theo
Van Leeuwen (The London Institute), Stuart Shanker (York
University), Rob Bowman (York University)

EVALUATION (for students taking the course for credit):
participation 25%, paper 75% (due within one month after the
completion of the course).
