内容説明

This volume develops a functional theory of language which specifies the notion of "register" (the analysis of the linguistic foundations of language), in terms of contextual and linguistic features. Moving beyond the limits of much of today's theory, it develops a theoretical understanding of the relationship between text, context and both the function and form of language. A primary concern is to expand current perceptions of functional linguistics and to consider how applications of this theory might be made more effective in communicative language-teaching practices. The notes and draft chapters of this book have been edited by Professor David Birch.

内容説明

Language and Context breaks new ground in our understanding of the relationship between register, genre and context. Leckie-Tarry argues convincingly and engagingly for a functional theory of language which specifies register in terms of contextual and linguistic features, and which suggests a discursive relationship between the two. Moving beyond the limits of much of today's theory, this accessible volume develops a theoretical understanding of the relationship between text, context, langage function and linguistic form. Helen Leckie-Tarry, a specialist in the area of 'register and applied linguistics', died in 1991, aged 49. Although she had finished a large part of this work, her notes and draft chapters have been extensively edited by Professor David Birch. David Birch is currently Professor of Communication and media Studies at Central Queensland University, Australia, and previously taught at Murdoch University, Western Australia, and the National University of Singapore.
