A very exciting volume offering an important contribution to linguistics through its encyclopaedic tour of Halliday’s theory, his influences and the fields he influenced. The breadth of coverage is impressive, complemented by an equally impressive reference list. This dip-in entry-style volume will keep readers coming back for years.

With all that has been written by and about M.A.K. Halliday, there is really nothing quite like this volume available today.
