Annotation

This second book in a projected three-volume series contains three chapters written from within the systemic functional theoretical framework, that present research on service encounters, an analysis of intraconversational texts, an analysis of theme, an analysis of a poem to show that discourse is rule-referenced, an analysis of intertextuality, an analysis of history as part of a social theory of language and Hasan's conception of context in text.
