Writing and Genre Studies
This entry offers a reappraisal of the three traditions of genre analysis canonized in Hyon 1996—EAP, New Rhetoric, and the Sydney School. In doing so, it develops a perspective on knowledge structure inspired by the social realist sociology of Bernstein and Maton. This perspective draws attention to the extent to which the three traditions progress (a) by developing every more integrative and general propositions or via the development of a new …
Acknowledging dispossession
This paper illustrates what can be revealed by a linguistic analysis of the discourse strategies deployed in a bilingual text acknowledging the dispossession of Indigenous peoples in Mindanao (Philippines). The analysis draws on systemic functional linguistics (SFL) descriptions of English, which model language as a resource for making meaning. It explores the choices involved from the perspective of critical discourse analysis (CDA), exposing la…
Intradisciplinarity
This position paper draws on Bernstein and Maton's sociology of knowledge to explore Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and Systemic Functional Semiotics (SFS), alongside their relation to Bateman's vision for empirical multimodality research. The paper suggests that SFL/SFS's internal grammar is by and large compatible with Bateman's vision, even if its external grammar falls short insofar as extant descriptions of one semiotic system or anot…
Building social work capacity in Ukraine in times of war
This article uses the reflections from three international initiatives aimed at assisting professionals who provide psychosocial services to those affected by Russia’s war in Ukraine. It concludes by highlighting how the international social work community could offer its support to promote the well-being of colleagues experiencing war and political violence globally

Structure markers
In this paper we revisit the association of types of structure with modes of meaning in systemic functional linguistics (SFL). Focusing mainly on nominal group grammar, we argue that the association of experiential structure with non-recursive systems realised by multivariate structures and logical structure with recursive systems realised by univariate structures needs to be relaxed – in recognition of dependency structures consisting of two ele…
Condensing Meaning
In this chapter we address the challenge of interpreting and teaching complex infographics of the kind read and viewed in secondary school science in Australia. Inspired by the work of Bateman and his colleagues we adopt a complementary bottom-up and top-down perspective – analysing infographics bottom-up in terms of general gestalt grouping principles (for both micro- and macro-groups) and interpreting images top-down with respect to abductions …
“Learning Functional Grammar is fun”
This paper reports on a teaching program for the Functional Grammar (FG) unit at an English Education Study Program of a state university in West Java Indonesia in 2020-2022. Three cohorts of pre-service teachers in semester six were involved in the program (38 students in 2020, 26 in 2021, and 36 in 2022). The teaching program was conducted online due to the Covid 19 pandemic. The report focuses on exploring students’ understanding of Systemic F…
Re/construing Our World
This paper focuses on Tagalog nominal groups and the way they are used in a children's picture book narrative. Its purpose is two-fold. On the one hand it presents an analysis of Tagalog nominal group structures, proposing Function Marking, Focus, Specifier, Numerative, Epithet, Deictic, Thing and Qualifier functions. On the other hand it is concerned with the way Tagalog nominal groups are used to construe an environmentalist perspective that co…
Martin on discourse semantics, genre, educational linguistics
J. R. Martin is a leading scholar who has greatly developed the theoretical framework of systemic functional linguistics (SFL) over the past four decades. Some of these contributions, such as the systems of discourse semantics, the appraisal framework and genre relations have been widely applied in various areas of linguistic studies and language education. The educational linguistic model he and his colleagues have cultivated and developed has a…
Perfil sistémico-funcional del grupo nominal en español
Este artculo propone una descripcin sistmico-funcional del grupo nominal en espaol basada en textos situados. Primero, la estructura del grupo nominal se aborda 'por arriba' desde las variables contextuales de campo y de modo para introducir dos sistemas semntico-discursivos claves, el de ideacin, y de identificacin. Luego se describen las funciones estructurales que, en la lexicogramtica, estn al servicio de la ideacin, incluidas las funciones C…

Nominal Group Grammar
In this introductory paper for this series of special issues, we review the development of nominal group description in SFL – focusing on its syntagmatic and paradigmatic modeling, and stepping through a number of the principles that underpin SFL description more broadly. We then explore a number of issues that have arisen in relation to nominal groups as more languages have been described in SFL, such as how to deal with structural markers that …
Korean Nominal Groups
The nominal group in Korean typically involves some combination of nouns (including common noun, proper noun, pronoun and bound noun), adjectives, numerals, determiners and clitics. In addition, the Korean nominal group has the potential to include embedded groups, embedded phrases and embedded clauses in its structure. These units realize a number of nominal group functions: Deictic, Epithet, Order, Thing; Qualifier, Orient; Quantity, Perspectiv…
Genre and activity
This paper explores a potential avenue of dialogue between Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT), namely genre. SFL's approach to modeling genre is briefly introduced, and key discourse analyses informing genre description are reviewed. Subsequently, the approach is illustrated with respect to analysis of a text from a tertiary law lecture, specifically a legal exemplum genre. The paper closes with c…
Ideational semiosis
This paper addresses the challenge of analysing texts for ideational grammatical metaphor. It undertakes this task from the perspective of recent work on field (Doran & Martin in press) and discourse semantics (Hao 2020a). In doing so it highlights the benefits of adopting a tri-stratal perspective on experiential and logical grammatical metaphor (Hao 2020b) - bringing all three of the most relevant strata (i.e. field, discourse semantics and lex…
Once more with feeling
If we follow one line of development in systemic functional linguistics (SFL), from Halliday & Hasan (1976) through Martin (1992) to Martin & White (2005) , we arrive at a model of discourse semantics with six major systems: ideation and connexion (ideational meaning), identification and periodicity (textual meaning) and negotiation and appraisal (interpersonal meaning). The complementarity of the latter two systems, negotiation and appraisal is …
Embodied meaning
This paper develops a framework for analysing paralanguage, initially inspired by systemic functional linguistic (hereafter SFL) research on early child language development. A distinction is drawn between non-semiotic behaviour (somasis) and meaning (semiosis), and within semiosis between language and paralanguage (using the term paralanguage to refer to semiosis dependent on language and realised through both sound quality and body language, th…
Interpersonal grammar of Tagalog
In this paper the interpersonal grammar of Tagalog is explored from the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistics. Following a brief metafunctional profile of Tagalog grammar, a framework for interpreting the discourse function of Tagalog clauses is introduced – exchange structure. Subsequently the systems of mood, polarity, modality, tagging, vocation, comment and engagement are considered, alongside their realisation in tone, clause struct…
Interpersonal meaning
This introduction comprises four main sections. Section 1 introduces the overall theoretical architecture of Systemic Functional Linguistics (hereafter SFL) by way of contextualising the focus on interpersonal grammar in this special issue. Section 2 looks in more detail at the interpersonal discourse semantics underlying this work, briefly introducing the systems of negotiation and appraisal realised through interpersonal grammar. Section 3 turn…
Discourse and Diversionary Justice

Exploring restorative justice
This article presents an overview and extension of research into one form of diversionary justice, the Youth Justice Conferencing programme in New South Wales, Australia. Conferences are formal procedures organised by a Convenor and typically involving a young offender, their victim or victim's representative, support persons, the arresting police officer, a police liaison officer and additional community members. After a recount of the offence, …

Mourning
This article takes up an interpersonal perspective on discourse, which focuses on what we might think of as the rhetorical power of language. In particular, it emphasizes the role of evaluation, and the constructive role it plays in organizing sociality – how we share feelings in order to belong. It considers in some detail the texture of an editorial from a Hong Kong lifestyle magazine published 10 days after 11 September 2001 (9/11), outlining …

Meaning matters
This paper presents a brief history of systemic functional linguistics (hereafter SFL), taking Halliday's 1961 WORD paper, 'Categories of the theory of grammar', as point of departure. It outlines the key strands of thought which have informed the development of SFL, focusing on (i) why it is referred to as systemic, as functional and as systemic functional, (ii) how it developed this orientation with reference to phonology, lexicogrammar and dis…
Incongruent and proud
This rejoinder reviews the interpretation of nominalization and grammatical metaphor in systemic functional linguistic theory and the critical role it plays in constructing knowledge, enabling evaluation and facilitating information flow. It is suggested that different disciplines deploy grammatical metaphor in complementary ways to construct their discourse and that these discourses depend fundamentally on this resource for their existence

Evolving systemic functional linguistics
In this autobiographical essay I reflect on my training in linguistics and the way it affected my interpretation and development of SFL theory. In particular I am concerned to show how I tried to help SFL evolve, accumulating previous understandings into a model with additional theoretical architecture taking descriptive responsibility for a wider range of linguistic data. This evolution is illustrated with respect to my work on discourse semanti…
Informal security nodes and force capital
Nodal governance theory continues to have a significant impact upon contemporary understandings of the governance of security. Scholars such as Clifford Shearing and Benoit Dupont have used this theory to explain how various state and private sector security organisations interact and form networks of protection. However, security producing entities from the informal sector remain largely undefined. The purpose of this article is to address this …

In this article I consider a two-page autobiographical recount which appears at the end of Nelson Mandela's book Long Walk to Freedom as a summary of his life and what he has learned from it. My aim is to illustrate the role of a detailed analysis of single texts in the field of discourse analysis, as opposed to studies of selected variables across a corpus of texts. The analysis is conducted within the general theoretical framework of systemic f…

What kind of structure?-interpersonal meaning and prosodic realization across strata
The starting-point of this article is Halliday's view that different types of meaning are realized by different forms of grammatical organization: experiential meaning is typically represented by particulate structures, interpersonal meaning by prosodic structures, and textual meaning by periodic structures. The aim of this article is to further develop the claim that interpersonal meanings are prosodically organized. It is argued that the same s…

Realisation, instantiation and individuation
This paper is concerned with identity and how it can be modelled in SFL, with special reference to the roles played by young offenders in Australia's youth justice conferences. These conferences function as a restorative justice alternative to courtroom-based retributive justice. It is proposed that a hierarchy of individuation be established, alongside and complementing realisation and instantiation, responsible for users of language, the ways i…

Troop-related multiple sclerosis outbreak in the Orkneys
It has been suggested in a number of recent reports that there is a possible relationship between parental occupation and malignant disease in children. A proportional mortality analysis relating deaths among children in England and Wales in 1959-63 and 1970-72 to occupation of father as stated on the child9s death certificate has not shown any convincing evidence for such associations. Earlier papers published on the subject are reviewed. Althou…

Logical meaning, interdependency and the linking particle { na/-ng } in Tagalog
In this paper the linking particle {nal-ng} in Tagalog is interpreted from the perspective of systemic functional linguistics. It is suggested that Tagalog's deployment of this particle to depend one unit on another across a range of grammatical environments argues for a grammatical theory in which constituency and interdependency are seen as complementary structuring principles, reflecting the experiential and logical subcomponents of Halliday's…

Vernacular deconstruction
This paper is concerned with the way in which three popular culture texts are deployed to challenge discourse which naturalises war. Each text mobilises ideational resources to draw attention to the material cost of war and interpersonal resources to re-align reader/viewers into peace seeking communities; in addition, each text deploys dramatic shifts in semiosis to re-focus reader/viewers' understanding and evaluation of armed struggle. The anal…
