...if modern science had developed first in China or India - the grammar of
scientific discourse might have taken a rather different route.

[M. A. K. Halliday @MAK_Halliday]

...and no language is any less qualified to be the vehicle of modern science and technology than were English and Russian some centuries ago

[M. A. K. Halliday @MAK_Halliday]

all languages are equally capable of being developed for all purposes

@MAK_Halliday But then again, it might not.

[M. A. K. Halliday @MAK_Halliday]

Any major restructuring of knowledge is likely to demand some remodelling of grammar.

[M. A. K. Halliday @MAK_Halliday]

...we shall not be surprised that grammatical metaphor has ideological import.

[M. A. K. Halliday @MAK_Halliday]

'reconstruing experience' is not merely rewording (regrammaticizing); it is also resemanticizing.

[Daniel O'Sullivan @danielanthonyos]

@MAK_Halliday does common sense suggest a restricted code and educational knowledge an elaborated code?

[Sociology&Management @SociologyManag]

@danielanthonyos @MAK_Halliday What are you talking about? About #BasilBernstein? The answer should be "Not".Well, do you both agree on that

[Sociology&Management @SociologyManag]

[Sociology&Management @SociologyManag]

@MAK_Halliday I like you Michael Halliday. Live A Long Time

We see how, in early infancy, linguistic and biological
maturation proceed together

[M. A. K. Halliday @MAK_Halliday]

you have not internalised an experience until you have transformed it into
meaning.

[M. A. K. Halliday @MAK_Halliday]

Once you have language - whether 'you' as species, or 'you' as individual - then you have the power of transforming experience into meaning

[M. A. K. Halliday @MAK_Halliday]

Knowledge is prototypically made of language.

[M. A. K. Halliday @MAK_Halliday]

I shall make the assumption that all forms of human knowledge
are capable of being construed as text.

[M. A. K. Halliday @MAK_Halliday]

What happens, linguistically, as a child moves from commonsense
knowledge to educational knowledge?

[M. A. K. Halliday @MAK_Halliday]

LANGUAGE AND KNOWLEDGE: THE 'UNPACKING' OF TEXT. I wanted to problematize, not the text, but the unpacking
