Abstract:

Editor’s Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.

The second edition of this popular textbook provides readers with a foundation
in methods for analysing and understanding language from various theoretical
perspectives within linguistics and language studies. Its novel approach
introduces systemic functional linguistics, text and discourse analysis, and
formal approaches to linguistics. It demonstrates applications of these
approaches to reveal how we use language in society, how our brains process
language, and how we learn language.

The main language focused on is English, while other languages are also drawn
on to illustrate the principles, models and theories. Learning outcomes,
exercises (with answer key), ideas for project work, and questions for
reflection are provided throughout. A final chapter gathers explanations of
various fields of practice within linguistics, written by linguists from
around the world.

The second edition includes added explanations, examples and exercises,
updated references and web links and an expanded number of entries in the
glossary. It also provides a new configuration of the material related to
syntax and lexico-grammar, giving readers the opportunity to see more clearly
the contrasts between formal and functional analyses and to understand the
differences in these views of language, leading to a stronger grasp of how
language ‘works’ within the brain and within society. It includes new material
on analysing texts for interpersonal and evaluative meanings, and on analysing
multimodal texts for meaning provided from combinations of verbal language and
visual modes, providing an increased range of text and discourse analytical
tools.
