本卷是由香港城市大学Jonathan J. Webster教授主编的《韩礼德文集》的第二卷，共收录8篇文章，总标题是《语篇和话语的语言学研究》，主要内容是系统功能语法在话语分析中的实际应用。

本卷由三个部分组成。第一部分侧重理论阐述，第二部分和第三部分侧重具体的语篇分析。

The papers in Linguistic Studies of Text and Discourse focus on the application of systemic functional grammar to the analysis of texts. Presenting detailed analyses of texts, ranging from the highly valued writings of William Golding, J. B. Priestley, Alfred Lord Tennyson and Charles Darwin, to texts of a more everyday variety, including a fund-raising letter and part of a doctoral defense, Halliday explores the power of grammar to create meaning and to change our lives for better or worse. Not only are the analyses interesting for what they reveal about the texts under investigation, but also instructive in the practice and methods of systemic grammar analysis.
