Riassunto:

This edited volume introduces the latest research in Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), which provides a sophisticated social semiotic architecture for exploring meaning in linguistic and multimodal texts in the context of Southeast Asia. The book explores the ideational, interpersonal and/or textual metafunctions in creative works, education, media and typological studies, unpacking the interaction between theory and practice in Systemic Functional Linguistics in Southeast Asia - a significant region in terms of the growing numbers\ of researchers and research projects concentrated in this area. It brings together original chapters by both emerging and reputable scholars studying established and novel texts in English, Indonesian, Malay, Mandarin, Tagalog, Thai and Vietnamese from Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Work on SFL-based typologies of languages other than English is a developing and important area of research, making this compilation particularly timely. It will be of particular interest to language scholars seeking to understand the recent growth and use of Systemic Functional Linguistics in other regions.
