Book review: Christopher Hart, Discourse, Grammar and Ideology: Functional and Cognitive Perspectives

Apart from the reservation I voiced earlier in relation to social theory, this edited volume stands out in two respects. First, it provides a wealth of examples of fine-grained analysis on a range of contemporary textual (multimodal, digital) phenomena. Second, it advances the conceptual repertoire of critical genre theory, in particular in relation to interdiscursivity and the interface of genre, medium and semiotic modes. Genre theory and analysis have ramifications beyond the realm of research, in particular for education, as technological and social changes generate new demands for literacy. This edited volume is therefore not only highly valuable for researchers and students but also for pedagogues.
