Introduction to systemic functional linguistics explores the social semiotic approach to language most closely associated with the work of Michael Halliday and his colleagues
Suzanne Eggins was Head of the School of English at the University of New South Wales, Australia, and now runs Textwork, where she is a professional writer and editor.
"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 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'
