Systemic Functional Semiotics: From theory to practice

细分领域

Knowledge base and ontological orientations to language and linguistics. These papers will provide insights into practitioners’ understandings of the nature of language and shifts between ‘language as rule’ and ‘language as resource’ (Halliday, 2003). They might analyse how different language ontologies coexist in practice, how pre-existing linguistics knowledge enables or poses challenges for understanding and engaging with SFL theory. As part of research articles, short reflective vignettes might be included to illustrate these shifts in practitioners’ knowledge.

The second theme aims to showcase recontextualisation of SFL in EAP practice that makes clear connections across the whole architecture, specific ontological/theoretical concepts (such as construal and enactment, realization, individuation, instantiation, stratification, registers and repertoires, paradigmatic perspective), and their significance for practice. Research papers or case studies might link these concepts with curriculum design or pedagogical practices in relation to issues such as interdisciplinary collaborations, impact, access and belonging, social justice, critical literacy, ethical practice in EAP, emergence of AI, language ideologies, internationalization, or the status of EAP.
