Description: "This simulating volume provides fresh perspectives on choice, a key notion in Systemic Functional Linguistics. Bringing a global team of well-estabished and up-and-coming systemic functional linguists, it shows how the different senses of choice as process and as product are interdependent, and how they opearate at all levels of language. Taking an interdisiciplinary approach, it covers a range of linguistic viewpoints, informed by evolutionary theory, psychology, sociology anf neuroscience, to produce a complex but unifying account of the issues."--Page [4] of cover.
