Language Of Sex Education - With Respect To Consent

by Georgia Carr

~~113,29€~~ 101,96€ 10% OFF

 This book offers a deep dive into sex education pedagogy in the Australian context, taking a close look at the language used to teach the key topics of consent and respect. It examines questions students ask, how teachers accommodate different beliefs in their classrooms, and how students learn about more values-based topics including consent, respectful relationships, and gender and sexuality diversity. It also considers what teaching and assessment looks like over the course of a school term and what makes a ''successful'' student. In short it answers the question - how is sex education actually taught? The Language of Sex Education provides the first book-length treatment of the language of sex education, offering a detailed account of pedagogy from the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistics. The study is situated in the Australian context, though has broader relevance to places such as New Zealand, North America, and the United Kingdom whose sex education is historically and culturally comparable to that of Australia. The book provides descriptions of the key topics of consent and respect, illustrating how teachers impart technical knowledge and how they support students to adopt and challenge the nuanced values needed when engaging with sex education. It does this through new descriptions of key linguistic resources of technicality and iconization that synthesize the central knowledge and values of the field. Through these descriptions and analyses, this book not only provides a detailed account of sex education pedagogy, but also offers new insights into the role of language in building fields and building communities.

Languages Of Australia S First Peoples In Narrative - Australian Stories

by David Rose

~~34,57€~~ 31,11€ 10% OFF

 Celebrating the diverse languages of Australia''s First Peoples, this book presents stories told by elders in eighteen languages from around the continent, and explores their patterns of meaning. The stories recount the experiences of the tellers and histories of their communities, from tales of anti-colonial resistance to origin stories of the Dreaming. The book aims to make the languages accessible and engaging through the voices of the elders, while building readers'' knowledge about language and language learning. It opens with some basic language knowledge for reading the stories. Each chapter then begins with the cultural and historical contexts of the stories, which are first previewed in English translation, then presented sentence-by-sentence, setting out the original sounds and wordings, glossed with plain English. Extracts are selected to illustrate patterns of meanings that are characteristic of each language. The final chapter sums up the various meaning patterns the stories use, and interprets their evolution in the light of First Peoples'' deep histories, as recorded by archaeology and traditional knowledge. The book will be useful for language learning programs in communities and schools, for researchers of language and language teaching, and for any reader with an interest in the languages and cultures of Australia''s First Peoples.

Exploring British Sign Language Via Systemic Functional Linguistics - A Metafunctional Approach

by Luke A. Rudge

35,76€ + 10% CARD

 One of many natural sign languages in use around the world, British Sign Language (BSL) operates as a fully-fledged semiotic system in the visual-spatial modality, through the simultaneous use of embodied articulators. Filling a gap in current research, this book investigates visual-spatial communications from a functional perspective. Presenting a description and analysis of BSL from the perspective of Hallidayan Systemic Functional Linguistics, Luke A. Rudge explores how BSL users make meaning from three different yet interrelated perspectives: - How exchanges of information are managed at a social level (the interpersonal metafunction) - How experience is encoded in the language (the experiential metafunction) - How communications are organised into coherent parts and wholes (the textual metafunction) Examining these perspectives both separately and together, Exploring British Sign Language via Systemic Functional Linguistics places them within the context of current observations in sign linguistics, providing a complementary viewpoint on how visual-spatial communications may be understood as social semiosis.

Appliable Linguistics And Social Semiotics - Developing Theory From Practice

50,07€ + 10% CARD

 Exploring the relationship between theory and practice in Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), this volume offers a state-of-the-art overview of Appliable Linguistics. Featuring both internationally-renowned scholars and rising stars from Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Chile, Denmark, Indonesia, New Zealand, Singapore and the USA, Appliable Linguistics and Social Semiotics examines the theoretical insights, questions, and developments that have emerged from the application of Systemic Functional theory to a range of fields. Beyond simply reporting on the application of SFL to particular sites of communication, both linguistic and semiotic, this volume demonstrates how SFL has critiqued, developed and transformed theory and practice and foregrounds the implications of application for Systemic Functional theory itself. Covering established fields for application, such as education, medicine and media, to relatively uncharted areas, such as software design and extremist propaganda, this volume provides an overview of recent linguistic and semiotic innovations informed by SFL and examines the advances that have been made from many years of productive dialogue between theory and practice.

Interpersonal Meaning In Multimodal English Textbooks

by Yumin Chen

35,76€ + 10% CARD

 Exploring multimodality in English language teaching textbooks, this book focusses on how language and image are co-deployed within these resources in order to create and convey interpersonal meaning. Presenting cutting-edge research in appraisal studies and multimodal discourse analysis, Yumin Chen uses systemic functional linguistics and social semiotics to investigate how different voices are introduced and aligned inter-modally in textbooks, extending the appraisal systems of engagement and graduation across language and image. The book also demonstrates how linguistic and visual semiotic resources co-instantiate attitude, paying special attention to the attitudinal dimension of curriculum goals for school students of different ages. Furthermore, it examines how different kinds of coding orientation are deployed in various educational contexts and different constituent genres. Demonstrating how the linguistic and semiotic theories can be adapted to analyze multimodal texts across language and image, Interpersonal Meaning in Multimodal English Textbooks offers new perspectives on how to employ multimodal resources to enhance the teaching and learning of English as a foreign language.

Modelling Paralanguage Using Systemic Functional Semiotics - Theory And Application

by Bradley A. Smith, Clare Painter, J. R. Martin, Michele Zappavigna, Susan Hood e Thu Ngo

35,76€ + 10% CARD

 Winner of the ASFLA (Australian Systemic Functional Linguistics Association) M. A. K. Halliday Prize 2023 This book is the first comprehensive account of ''body language'' as ''paralanguage'' informed by Systemic Functional Semiotics (SFS). It brings together the collaborative work of internationally renowned academics and emerging scholars to offer a fresh linguistic perspective on gesture, body orientation, body movement, facial expression and voice quality resources that support all spoken language. The authors create a framework for distinguishing non-semiotic behaviour from paralanguage, and provide a comprehensive modelling of paralanguage in each of the three metafunctions of meaning (ideational, interpersonal and textual). Illustrations of the application of this new model for multimodal discourse analysis draw on a range of contexts, from social media vlogs, to animated children''s narratives, to face-to-face teaching. Modelling Paralanguage Using Systemic Functional Semiotics offers an innovative way for dealing with culture-specific and context specific paralanguage.
