Coordinated by Jorge Arús-Hita and Christian Matthiessen, the Permanent Training Master's degree in Systemic Functional Linguistics: Theory and Application provides students with a general foundation and an attractive range of courses dealing with application and expanding on descriptive and theoretical topics. SFL is presented as a resource for engaging with language and other semiotic systems in their contexts of culture; this engagement covers both expert scientific knowledge about language and semiotic systems in general and expert skills needed in the analysis of texts (discourses) and the development of descriptions of linguistic systems based on texts, both small samples and large corpora. In short, students will be empowered both to reflect and to act. The first edition of this Master's degree will be starting in January 2025.
