Hasan, Ruqaiya
Ruqaiya Hasan (1931–2015) was a key contributor to the “systemic functional” school of linguistics, making notable contributions to various fields of linguistic study. In this volume, she is located within the “grammar” section, but her work is also just as relevant to “literacy,” “language, ideology, culture and context,” and “lexis.” She foregrounded the study of meaning in society and brought linguistics into dialogue with a range of other dis…
The ‘Existential Fabric’ of War
Across the texts constituting the laws of war, the word war is one of the most frequent lexical items, its dominant lexicogrammatical environment being in the phrase of war. While this combination seems unremarkable, given the durability of organized violence and the significance of this register for attempts to regulate the violence of war, the paper explores the ideological work of this phrase, including both the effects of the dominant pattern…
Halliday, Critical Discourse Analysis and ideology
While Halliday’s work has been a source of inspiration to the fields of Critical Linguistics and Critical Discourse Analysis, Halliday has never been embraced by either school. This paper reviews the engagement of CL and CDA with Halliday, examining what ideas were borrowed, and what was either rejected or modified beyond recognition. It then examines how and why the key working assumptions in Halliday’s framework — in particular, metafunction, r…
Manifesto
Buscamos discutir alguns pressupostos sobre o uso do inglês como "língua franca" em contextos acadêmico-científicos, identificar o impacto destes pressupostos nas trajetórias de produção e recepção de conhecimentos, e legitimar o uso de múltiplas línguas para a troca acadêmica transnacional. Propomos dez princípios: o uso do inglês quanto "língua franca" acadêmico-científica não sempre promove a inclusão; uma suposta "língua franca" acadêmicocien…
The Macquarie Laws of War Corpus (MQLWC)
This paper discusses the creation and use of the new Macquarie Laws of War Corpus (MQLWC). The corpus consists of the 110 documents of international war law stored in the International Committee of the Red Cross treaties database, starting with the 1856 Declaration Respecting Maritime Law (Paris Declaration) and ending with the most recent amendment to the Rome Statute (2019). The new MQLWC is hosted at the Sydney Corpus Lab (sydneycorpuslab.com)…
Prosody and ideology
The focus of this paper is on the role choices in phonological systems ( Brazil 1997 ; Halliday & Greaves 2008 ) play in the ideological work of a text. Using an instance of news reporting of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, we show how prosodic choices – both those shared with other texts in this register, and those specific to this instance – contribute to the ideological force of the text. The ideological effects of prosodic choices in this text, we…

Ways of meaning
This paper explores one aspect of the operationalisation of a patient-centred ideology of care by examining an oncologist’s answers to questions asked by her patient and his companion during a palliative oncology consultation and comparing her answers to the markedly different answers of another oncologist. Halliday’s concept of register and Hasan’s semantic networks are used to examine the oncologists’ answers. Patients’ questions create the sem…
How international war law makes violence legal
Some international law scholars have argued that international war law, rather than proscribing violence in war, has instead been a vehicle for its legitimation. Given that laws are constituted in and through language, this paper explores this paradox through register analysis of the text of the Rome Statute, an international treaty adopted in 1998 which established the International Criminal Court to prosecute the crimes of “genocide”, “crimes a…

Advanced cancer patients’ construction of self during oncology consultations
This paper explores advanced cancer patients’ self-identification from a grammatical-concordance perspective. It combines corpus linguistics tool of concordance and transitivity analysis to investigate the grammatical choices that advanced cancer patients make to identify and construct themselves during an oncology consultation. The data comprises 69 oncology consultations between advanced cancer patients (and in some consultations a companion or…
War and Its Ideologies
War and Its Ideologies
Ideology and the text-in-context relation
While aspects of Halliday’s theory have been adopted for the study of ideology in discourse - in particular via Critical Discourse Analysis - these applications of his ideas have not attempted to bring the full weight of Halliday’s model to the problem of understanding the phenomenon and practical manifestation of ideology. A consideration of Halliday’s model reveals, first of all, that Halliday, like Vološinov in linguistics, and Mannheim in soc…
The construction of a ‘narrative’ in Australian federal budget speeches, 1996–2013
Given the significance of annual budgetary decisions in both fiscal terms and policy reach, the annual federal budget speech has a distinctive place in Australia's parliamentary cycle. The speeches afford a government a significant opportunity to articulate its economic policy agenda and to contrast its agenda with that of its predecessors or the Opposition. This article reviews the budget speeches of two Treasurers, Peter Costello (Liberal, 1996…
What do texts do? The context-construing work of news
Within the framework of Halliday's text and context relations, with key extensions of this model by Hasan, this paper presents an analysis of a TV news report by Australia's public broadcaster (the ABC) concerning the 2003 “Coalition” invasion of Iraq, in order to present a thesis about the context-construing work done by the register (i.e., functional variety) known as “news.” Sociologists have argued that news is a symbolic commodity, in the bu…
The meanings of “war
In this paper I interpret findings from a project investigating media coverage of the 2003 “Coalition” invasion of Iraq, drawing on a corpus of news reports from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation TV news. The findings reported are evidence of a consistency that reflects the unconscious working of an ideology about “war”, with ideology considered in linguistic terms as a “configurative rapport” (Whorf 1956). To trace some dimensions of this …
Hasan, Ruqaiya
For the field of applied linguistics, language must first and foremost be considered as it functions in the exchange of meanings.
Journalism, ideology and linguistics
A central reason why news discourse is an object of academic research is its potential and actual role in establishing and maintaining ideology. News can do this because it is made of language and other semiotic modalities (Hasan, 1996a). This article considers the media coverage of the 2003 ‘Coalition’ invasion of Iraq, in light of the contradictions between the assumptions about discourse in the ‘propaganda model’ (Herman and Chomksy, 2002[1988…
Grammar–The First Covert Operation of War
The cultural perturbations created by 11 September (9/11) have produced a layering of discourses. These layers offer a remarkable opportunity for interpreting ideology in relation to text construction. We examine two degrees of this textual dispersion: first, the motivated selection in the crafting of President Bush’s first speech after 9/11; and second, the speech by British Lieutenant Colonel Tim Collins as he exhorts his troops before engageme…
