Description
A comprehensive account of language development from a Systemic Functional Linguistic perspective is presented in this volume. It explores how individuals' repertoires of meaning-making resources develop as they interact with the world and others, and considers the key stages of language development from infancy to school settings and beyond. The book integrates theory and data from a wide range of research studies to examine shifts in language development across these stages, drawing on Systemic Functional Linguistics and other functional perspectives. A concluding chapter discusses the implications of these studies for future research and pedagogical practices in literacy teaching. This book will be key reading for students and scholars in Systemic Functional Linguistics, language and education, and literacy studies.
