The impact of his work extends beyond linguistics, into the study of stylistics, computation linguistics, visual narrative and multimodal communication.  He is considered a founder of the field of social semiotics.  Written by leading figures in the field, the volume provides readers with an authoritative overview of his early career, his most important theoretical findings and how his work has influenced linguistics as a discipline. From the publishers of his 'Collected Works' and 'The Essential Halliday', this is another must have book underlining Halliday's era-defining impact on the field of linguistics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProfessor Jonathan J.
