About the author

Y. J. Doran is a researcher in the LCT Centre for Knowledge-Building and the Department of Linguistics at the University of Sydney, who focuses on Systemic Functional Linguistic theory and description, Legitimation Code Theory and their contribution to the interdisciplinary fields of educational linguistics, multimodality and identity.

Summary

The book uses an SFL framework, here extended to encompass the more recently developed Systemic Functional Multimodal Discourse Analysis approach, to explore the field’s multimodal nature and offer detailed descriptions of three of its key semiotic resources – language, image, and mathematics.
