>You'll find online a new report by Richard F. Young and Hanh Thi Nguyen:
>"Modes of Meaning in High School Science,"
>http://cela.albany.edu/report.htm. The authors provide a close comparison
>of two modes of presenting the same scientific topic in a physics textbook
>and in interactive teacher talk. Both use systemic functional analysis of
>the verbs, grammatical metaphors, themes, relational words, etc. One mode
>(physics textbook) tends to establish readers as passive observers, while
>the other (teacher talk) draws students in as participants in the process.
>Yet each may serve to socialize students into different aspects of the
>discipline of physics.
