Abstract:

Michael Alexander Kirkwood Halliday (1925-2018) was an iconic figure in the
field of linguistics and the pioneer responsible for the development of
systemic functional linguistics (SFL). The impact of his work extends beyond
linguistics, into the study of stylistics, computation linguistics, visual
narrative and multimodal communication and he was a founder of the field of
social semiotics. Written by leading figures in the field, "The Bloomsbury
Companion to M. A. K. Halliday" provides readers with an authoritative
overview of Halliday's early career, his most important theoretical findings
and how his work influenced the development of linguistics as a discipline.
The paperback edition features a new chapter exploring his theory of verbal
art and verbal science and the metaphor-making potential available in
language, the final contribution to the field of one of the world's leading
and most influential linguists.
