This edition incorporates several important developments within systemic linguistics, including a new chapter on the logical relations of the clause complex, and discussion of the application of systemic linguistics to the analysis of multi-modal texts.

Introduction to systemic functional linguistics explores the social semiotic approach to language most closely associated with the work of Michael Halliday and his colleagues

Reviews
"This book is certainly a welcome and valuable addition to the current literature both on introduction to systemic functional linguistics and on text analysis. I would certainly recommend this as the main textbook and/or reference book on introduction to systemic functional linguistics and/or systemic functional text analysis." --The Linguist list, May 2005 -- The Linguist List
'The new edition is significantly superior to its predecessor, one of the improvements being the overall structure and organization of the book...this volume presents the SFL framework clearly and convincingly...excellent in proposing a state of the art, rich and stimulating view of SFL' * Journal of Sociolinguistics *
