The Systemic Functional Guidebook is the companion volume to Continuum's bestselling Introduction to Systemic Functional Linguistics, Second Edition. The Guidebook introduces systemic functional theory through a series of worked examples, explaining how to analyse texts for their interpersonal, experiential and logical meanings, lexicogrammar, genre and register. Each chapter includes exercises to help the student to apply systemic functional theory to a range of texts. The second part of the book examines different contexts in which systemic functional theory can be used, and shows the applications of the theory to a range of real life case studies, bringing cutting edge theory to bear on a practical level. The Systemic Functional Guidebook is an essential resource for students or researchers who are new to this branch of linguistics and need an accessible, hands-on introductory guide. >
