Journals which Publish Systemic-Functional Linguistics

Systemic-Centred Journals

The following journals are directly directed at Systemic Linguistics:
  • Language, context and text: The social semiotics forum. (Benjamins). "an international, refereed journal with a focus on the use, critique and development of social semiotics as originally proposed by the British linguist M.A.K. Halliday. It is dedicated to new theoretical and empirical work in Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) concerning any language. Additionally, there is a deep interest in studies of other modalities that use a social semiotic approach and are directly related to SFL. Social semiotic studies of inter-modal relations between language and other meaning systems are of particular interest, as are transdisciplinary studies in which language use plays a key role."
  • Functional Linguistics: (Springer): An electronic journal. From the website: "The journal publishes scholarly articles and reviews in the broad area of functional studies, with a special focus on systemic functional linguistics".
  • Functions of Language: The FOL Home Page. There you will find links to the journal's statement of purpose, some notes for contributors, its style sheet, and the tables of contents of past and forthcoming issues.
