 Special Issue

This special issue compiles papers from the 48th Systemic Functional Congress (ISFC48 organised in March 2023 by the Systemic Functional Linguistics Association of Tunisia (SYFLAT) and the Laboratory of Approaches to Discourse (LAD-LR13ES15), under the auspices of the Faculty of Letters and Humanities at the University of Sfax. This special issue, which explores the theme of power and empowerment in relation to language and systemic functional theory, is divided into two volumes. The contributions in this first volume provide some reflections on SFL notions, which can empower both the theoretical apparatus and its application to different types of discourse. The papers in the second volume https://recherches-universitaires-flshs.com/numero/32/details.html showcase how SFL language descriptions can empower pedagogical practices.
