Biography
Tom Bartlett is Professor of Functional and Applied Linguistics at the University of Glasgow, UK.
'All in all, the performed research seems to be well developed and does justice to the input and interactions between the various participants. The author has managed to systematically use SFL, creatively combined with other approaches and usefully combined with theoretical frameworks such as Bourdieu’s account on symbolic capital, which he further enriched as a result of the research.' - Nicolina Montesano Montessori, Utrecht University of Applied Sciences/VU-University, Critical Discourse Studies
'...Bartlett makes an impressive effort to integrate theories and methodological approaches from critical discourse analysis, positive discourse analysis, SFL, conversation analysis, interactional sociolinguistics, pragmatics and ethnography to develop a model of power in language as bottom-up, multifaceted and potentially collaborative...This case study of bottom-up change in institutional discourse provides an exemplary reference for researchers who explore similar processes in other communities, as well as more generally scholars in linguistic anthropology, ethnography and ethnopoetics.' - Yunhua Xiang, Jilin University, Discourse and Society
