Chapter: 7. The place of context in a systemic functional model [2008]

DOI: 10.1558/equinox.28031

Blurb:

The ‘well regulated nature of parole’, i.e. naturally occurring discourse
involving ‘exchanges of meaning between ordinary speakers as participants
in “concerted social activities”’ (Malinowski 1923) should, argues
Hasan in The Place of Context in a Systemic Functional Model (2009),
‘put both language use and context centre stage in linguistics’.
