For nearly half a century, Professor M. A. K. Halliday has been enriching
the discipline of linguistics with his keen insights into the social
semiotic phenomenon we call language. This ten-volume series presents the
seminal works of Professor Halliday.
Throughout his career Professor Halliday has continued to address the issue
of the application of linguistic scholarship to Computational and
Quantitative Studies. The sixth volume in the collected works of Professor
M. A. K. Halliday includes works that span the last five decades, covering
developments in machine translation and corpus linguistics. Also included
is discussion of recent collaborative efforts bringing together those
working in systemic functional grammar, fuzzy logic and "intelligent
computing", engaging in what Halliday refers to as computing with meaning.
The principles and methods outlined in these papers remain as relevant
today as when they were first published, continuing to point the way
forward in an endeavour where success depends more on advancing our
knowledge of language than machines.
