Reading Karl Barth on Truth and Falsehood in the Post-Truth Age
This article offers a close reading of two sections of Karl Barth's Church Dogmatics, i.e., §70.1 "The True Witness" and §70.2 "The Falsehood of Man" against the background of the post-truth environment. A brief discussion of the post-truth phenomenon highlights how some strands of the resistance to it trade on a binary of objective and subjective approaches to truth and epistemology, insisting on the triumph of the former over the latter as the …
Metaphors for Scripture
New Testament scholar Dale Martin has called for doing away with speaking of the 'authority of Scripture'. Constructively, he proposes a number of metaphors for Scripture, which, nevertheless, point very strongly to the Church's dependence on it. This article brings Martin's programmatic suggestions into conversation with some recent doctrinal writing on Scripture that has given attention to the 'what' and 'why' of Scripture. The doctrinal reflec…
Introducing Functional Grammar
This is an accessible introduction to the most fully developed functional approach to grammar currently available. Now in its second edition, it is closely based on Michael Halliday's An Introduction to Functional Grammar: Third Edition. It can be used either as a comprehensive course book in its own right or as a means of preparing students for the more theoretical treatment of grammar as presented in Halliday's book.In this thoroughly updated e…
A Meaning-Centered Therapy for Addictions
Obligation and reader involvement in English and Korean science popularizations
Most research on English/Korean cross-cultural text analysis has focused on comparing the discourse organization of academic texts written by English native speakers and ESL learners. However, this provides a limited view of the textual differences between the two cultures. In the present research, we analyze a genre with a mass readership—newspaper science popularization texts—from an interpersonal perspective. Using two corpora of 356 British a…
Systemic Functional Linguistics
Appraising glances
The development of APPRAISAL theory has opened up areas of interpersonal meanings that had been relatively neglected within Systemic Functional Linguistics and other approaches to the analysis of discourse. The model is comprehensive and discourse-based, and in many respects it works well in practice. However, text analysis using the model has thrown up a number of problematic aspects; and in this paper I explore some of the problems in the attit…
Ken Hyland, Metadiscourse
Ken Hyland, Metadiscourse: Exploring interaction in writing. London & New York: Continuum. 2005. Pp. x, 230. Hb £75.00, Pb £25.00. Metadiscourse is increasingly recognized as fundamental to the way in which writers construct text to achieve their communicative goals, but it remains a somewhat vague concept in certain respects, and the term is used in different ways by different scholars; so a full-scale treatment of the phenomenon is potentially …
Evaluation
In most holiday destinations, high summer naturally means high season, but around the capital cities of Europe the streets are often practically deserted. This makes July and August the perfect time to catch up on your culture so whilst the Parisians flock to Corsica or the Cote d’Azur, you can enjoy Paris without the traffic jams and experience the city’s many open spaces at their best. Barcelona is perfect for a summer break, and you can be bot…
Voices in the Text
This paper investigates the ways in which language events are reported in English Language reports are identified on functional rather than structural grounds. The definition that is used for identification is ‘signalled voices in text’, and the framework suggested here attempts to account for all instances in naturally-occurring text which are covered by such a definition Four main dimensions of choice for the reporter in any language report are…
