his book aptly re-cycles the concepts and systems developed by systemic functional linguistics (SFL) in the work of Halliday (1985) and his followers, particularly Martin (1992), with a focus on ?discourse semantics rather than on lexicogrammar, genre or register? (242) as it gets deployed in written texts ?  and makes such concepts accessible to students and researchers who are getting started with SFL. Working with Discourse is a fine and extensive (rather than intensive or in-depth) introduction to a SFL discourse analysis which will no doubt be preferred over existing ones due to its effective sequence and integration of theory and application.
