About this book
Reviews
“War and its ideologies: A social-semiotic theory and description represents a significant new contribution to both the theoretical and practical work in Systematic Functional Linguistics (SFL). … This book is not only a very timely and compelling addition to the SFL canon, but a worthy tribute to her friends and mentors in combining a comprehensive and accessible synthesis of the SFL conceptualisation of semiosis and ideology with a thoroughly-worked illustration of the theory in practice.” (Tom Bartlett, Functions of Language, Vol. 28 (2), 2021)
“A key strength is in the thought-provoking analytical walk-throughs of the texts under consideration (which could be seen as model analyses for students interested in carrying out corpus-based discourse analysis and/or Hallidayan analysis), and Lukin does an excellent job of laying out a range of hiding-in-plain-sight linguistic techniques that are used to justify war.” (Paul Baker, International Journal of Corpus Linguistics, Vol.25 (3), 2020)
“Given the innovative and interdisciplinary approach, this book is a great start into new discussions on the relation of language with conflict (and peace) and ideology.” (Roswitha Kersten-Pejanić, Journal of Language and Politics, Vol. 19 (5), 2020)
