Description

An illustration of the concept that theories develop most creatively in the context of their application, with reference to main developments in the field in recent years. This volume covers many aspects of applied systemic linguistics including language teaching, language and pathology, literary stylistics, socio-linguistic variation, modelling the production and understanding of language in computers, child development and the study of ideologically significant texts such as court proceedings.
