Meeting Description:

Systemic Functional Linguistics on Language, Specialised Knowledge and
Literacy

The strong interrelation between knowledge and language in the global latitude
of what has been dubbed the ''knowledge society'' calls for a renewed
discussion on how systemic functional linguistics has contributed to exploring
the relation between language and specialised knowledge and how it can
continue to contribute to literacy development.

The language-knowledge-literacy triad has been the concern of SFL from the
beginning, the relationship between wording and meaning, the notion of
language as a resource and an interest in ''co-variation between linguistic
and social phenomena'' being its very essence (e.g. Halliday 1961, 1966).

However, it has taken many directions and different foci, among which, the
language of science and technology, specialised knowledge and genre
communication, school literacy and advanced academic literacies, language and
specialised knowledge in diachrony, literacy and the literary text, and
multimodal literacies, including the cultural revolution brought about by the
internet and the new media.
