Abstract:

The third volume in the collected works of Professor M.A.K. Halliday,
On Language and Linguistics, includes eighteen papers exploring
different aspects of language from a systemic functional perspective.
The papers are organized into three sections: the place of linguistics
as a discipline; linguistics and language; and language as social
semiotic. In addition, there is a new work from Professor Halliday,
entitled "The architecture of language", in which he focuses on the
assumptions or working hypotheses that enabled him to explore
important questions about this massive semiotic power called
'language'.
