This innovative theorising of meaning-making via the facial expression, gesture, posture, body movement and vocal qualities such as loudness, pitch level and tension provides new analytic frameworks to enhance research in social interaction in multiple disciplinary contexts. An indispensable resource for social semiotic research.

A highly relevant and necessary book for researchers interested in expanding Halliday’s multifunctional theory to the study of meaning of the semiotic resources embodied in our voices, gestures, facial expressions and postures in order to enact social relations.

A timely and welcome addition to the field demonstrating robust developments in systemic functional theory and its application. It draws together leading experts in this domain, offering critical insights and various pathways for further exploration. A must-read for linguists and specialists in non-verbal communication alike.
