M A K Halliday
For nearly half a century, Professor M.A.K. Halliday has been enriching the
discipline of linguistics with his keen insight into the social semiotic
phenomenon we call language. He is one of the most influential of living
linguists and now, for the first time, Continuum are publishing his entire
collected works.
The volumes in the present series encompass all aspects of Halliday's work
and cover the breadth of the linguistics discipline. They are an essential
and definitive collection for any linguistics library
Available Now
On Grammar (Volume 1)
This first volume contains seventeen papers, including a new piece entitled
'a personal perspective', in which Professor Halliday offers his own views
on language and linguistic theory as covered in his collected works. The
first part presents early papers (1957-1966); the second part highlights
how over the span of two decades (mid-60s to mid-80s) Halliday developed
systemic theory to account for linguistic phenomena extending upward
through the ranks from word to clause to text; the third part includes more
recent work..
