About this book

This collection of original articles covers a range of research connecting with the work of the eminent linguist Ruqaiya Hasan. It contains contributions from M.A.K. Halliday, G. Williams, D. Butt, D. Miller and M. Berry among others, an interview with Ruqaiya Hasan, and notes from the contributors about their connection with Ruqaiya Hasan's work.

Reviews

“This volume is a must-read for those doing work on semantic networks, context and language, texts and textuality, literacy and education, and verbal art. … The essays in this volume go a long way to making sure that Ruqaiya Hasan’s contribution to our understanding of how language works as humanity s resource for being and making meaning will live long past her beautiful life, Humanity is richer and better for the life she lived among us.” (Jonathan Webster, Functions of Language, Vol. 25 (2), 2018)
