NETWORK: News, Views and Reviews in systemic linguistics and related areas.

This page will provide links to scanned copies of the original NETWORK newsletter.  The newsletter was launched in APRIL 1981,

The aim of the newsletter, as stated in the first issue, was:

“to provide a fairly informal forum for a number of different types of people with interests in systemic linguistics. We hope it will enable us to keep in touch, both with each other and with current activities that are relevant to systemic linguistics. The work that we report will be both theoretical and applied, and we shall interpret ‘relevant to systemic linguistics’ in a broad sense, so as to include work in the broad Firthian tradition that is not explicitly systemic and work done in other frameworks that shows some type of parallel to systemic work.”
[Robin Fawcett, APRIL 1981]
