IntroductionThis book, based on revised papers originally delivered at the VII International Systemic Functional Workshop in Valencia in 1995, explores some of the choices open to speakers and writers for the expression of meaning in different socio-cultural contexts. Many of the papers draw their inspiration from models of language developed by Michael Halliday and in particular recent theories of variation in relation to texts and genres explored by Halliday and his followers. There is an emphasis on the interdependence and interaction of linguistic choices across sentence boundaries and speaking turns,Amsterdam studies in the theory and history of linguistic science.Series IV,Current issues in linguistic theory ;v. 158.English languageDiscourse analysisCongressesEnglish languageSpoken EnglishCongressesEnglish languageWritten EnglishCongressesEnglish languageVariationCongressesEnglish languageDiscourse analysisEnglish languageSpoken EnglishEnglish languageWritten EnglishEnglish languageVariation401/.41Sánchez Macarro Antonia330894Carter Ronald1947-2018221896International Systemic Functional Workshop.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910957717803321Linguistic choice across genres4375742UNINA03755nam 2200649Ia 450 991101983450332120250204111630.097866122920339781282292031128229203X9781444315882144431588997814443158991444315897(MiFhGG)GVRL6KDS(CKB)1000000000794414(MiAaPQ)EBC456013(OCoLC)441886917(MiFhGG)9781444315899(Perlego)2756209(EXLCZ)99100000000079441420090415d2009 uy 0engurun|---uuuuatxtccrCorporate boards managers of risk, sources of risk /edited by Robert W.
