M.A.K. Halliday (1925–2018) was the founder of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and, undoubtedly, one of the most influential linguists of his time, credited with changing the way that language and linguistics have been taught. SFL, as an appliable theory that approaches language as social semiotic, is the study of the relationship between language and its functions in social settings. Moreover, SFL conceives of language as a resource for making meaning and organizes language systemically as a huge network of interrelated choices of meaning.

This book is an introduction to the life and seminal works of Halliday. Targeting both SFL and non-SFL scholars, this book introduces Halliday’s life and work in simple terms, expounds his theoretical conceptions, illustrates how his theories have been applied to various areas of linguistics and offers additional readings for researchers who want to explore this area further.

Divided into six sections covering Hallidayan connections, theory and architecture of language, Hallidayan conceptions of language, systems and the modes of meaning, and applications of SFL, this accessible introduction is a key resource for researchers and students within the fields of linguistics and applied linguistics.

Foreword to Introducing M.A.K. Halliday

Donna R. Miller

✦

The authors of this impressive volume have a quite distinguished calling card. To begin with, they are two young scholars who did their PhD theses under the supervision of Christian Matthiessen. They also have already published various noteworthy books on SFL and translation in collaboration (e.g., the recent Ma & Wang 2021; Wang & Ma 2020; Wang & Ma 2021). Now I have the honour, and pleasure, to present their latest effort, this fine introduction to one of the foremost researchers on language and linguistics of our times: M.A.K. Halliday, the ‘founding father of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL)’, as the authors rightly point out. With the recent passing of Michael Halliday, the very idea of such a work is not just well-timed, it is also essential. The volume is definitely attractive – also to SFL scholars who, despite being experts, perhaps know less about the growth of the scholar, Halliday, than about his linguistics. However, the authors knowingly aim to reach scholars outside the SFL community who may be even only vaguely interested in Halliday and Hallidayan SFL as well.

The task the authors set themselves was not an easy one: constructing a book merging ample coverage of Halliday himself, along with the diachronic development of his linguistics and its key theoretical conceptions, as well as the influences of other scholars upon Halliday – both western and eastern – and his influence upon not only systemic functional linguists, but also scholars outside the community. Moreover, a welcome chapter is dedicated to SFL as an appliable linguistics. The areas covered are many and varied, as were Halliday’s own copious writings, including: translation studies; language description and typology; child language development; computational linguistics; educational linguistics; text analysis, as well as verbal art. And although we have Halliday’s collected works in print, this book offers a conceptually and methodologically rigorous and stimulating pathway into his work. More than a rough guide, however, at every turn it displays the necessary knowledge of the linguist, Halliday, and his model, which receive laudable coverage, as does the relevant literature on all topics. It also organizes its contents in a logical and systematic fashion.

In sum, despite the challenging aims that the authors set themselves, they have done a fine job of meeting them. With all that has been written by and about M.A.K. Halliday, there is really nothing quite like this volume available today.
