Lecture series in Systemic Functional Linguistics

1 May 2018

In May and June 2018, I will be giving a series of lectures at the LATTICE laboratory in Paris, with the support of the “Labex TransferS”, and collaborating with my host, Professor Shirley Carter Thomas

Each talk will concentrate on different aspects of nominal or content-oriented meanings in language and will raise important theoretical questions related to representational meanings and their expression or non-expression, language description and meaning construal, translation and language comparisons.
