Exploring the relationship between theory and practice in Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), this volume offers a state-of-the-art overview of Appliable Linguistics. Featuring both internationally-renowned scholars and rising stars from Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Chile, Denmark, Indonesia, New Zealand, Singapore and the USA, Appliable Linguistics and Social Semiotics examines the theoretical insights, questions, and developments that have emerged from the application of Systemic Functional theory to a range of fields.
Beyond simply reporting on the application of SFL to particular sites of communication, both linguistic and semiotic, this volume demonstrates how SFL has critiqued, developed and transformed theory and practice and foregrounds the implications of application for Systemic Functional theory itself. Covering established fields for application, such as education, medicine and media, to relatively uncharted areas, such as software design and extremist propaganda, this volume provides an overview of recent linguistic and semiotic innovations informed by SFL and examines the advances that have been made from many years of productive dialogue between theory and practice.

This volume models how the linguistic description that Systemic Functional Linguistics has developed over decades can indeed be used to address practical problems. Through chapters that take on a diverse range of problems, such as pedagogical issues, illness, and popular texts, it offers an excellent cross-section of work that can guide both novice and experienced researchers who are interested in exploring how powerful linguistics can be as a form of social action. * Priscilla Angela T. Cruz, Department Chair, Department of English, Ateneo de Manila University. Philippines * This book makes a unique contribution to systemic functional theory, documenting its application to different research problems in a rich variety of settings. The contributors include established and emerging scholars, practitioners and scholar-practitioners whose work demonstrates the powerful dialectic of theory, description and practice in action across the globe. -- Pauline Jones, University of Wollongong, Australia
