Social Semiotics
In 1961, M.A.K. Halliday published a seminal paper, outlining his model of systemic functional linguistics. His work has been hugely influential in linguistics and beyond. This is a collection of interviews with the generation of social semioticians who have taken Halliday’s concept of social semiotics and developed it further in various directions, making their own original contributions to theory and practice. This book highlights their main lines of thought and considers how they relate to both the original concept of social semiotics and to each other. Key themes include:_x005F_x000D_ _x005F_x000D_ _x005F_x000D_ Linguistic studies, multilinguality and evolution of language;_x005F_x000D_ _x005F_x000D_ _x005F_x000D_ Text, discourse and classroom studies;_x005F_x000D_ _x005F_x000D_ _x005F_x000D_ Digital texts, computer communication and science teaching;_x005F_x000D_ _x005F_x000D_ _x005F_x000D_ Multimodal text- and discourse analysis;_x005F_x000D_ _x005F_x000D_ _x005F_x000D_ Education and literacy;_x005F_x000D_ _x005F_x000D_ _x005F_x000D_ Media work and visual and audio modes;_x005F_x000D_ _x005F_x000D_ _x005F_x000D_ Critical Discourse Analysis._x005F_x000D_ _x005F_x000D_ Featuring interviews with leading figures from linguistics, education and communication studies: Gunther Kress, Theo van Leeuwen, Jay Lemke, James R. Martin and Christian M.I.M. Matthiessen, this indispensable overview of the field of social semiotics shows the development of thinking and practice since Halliday’s early work.
