J.R.马丁、戴维·罗斯编著的《语篇研究跨越小句的意义(中文导读注释版第2版)》共九章，分别为：一、解读社会语篇；二、评价：态度磋商；三、概念：经验识解；四、联结：逻辑关联；五、识别：追踪参与者；六、语篇格律：信息流；七、磋商：对话中的互动；八、文本分析；九、链接等内容。本书研究的是语篇语义。本书作为一部语篇语义学领域里的经典著作，其基础是系统功能语言学，因此它具有系统功能语言学的特点，也不可避免地给读者带来较大的加工成本。

《语篇研究——跨越小句的意义》(第二版)由马丁和罗斯合著，第一版由Continuum2003年出版，第二版由Bloomsburv Publishing Plc．2007年出版。J.R.马丁、戴维·罗斯编著的《语篇研究跨越小句的意义(中文导读注释版第2版)》通过浅显易懂的语言和深入浅出的实例分析，简明扼要地展示了语篇分析的不同视角，揭开了语篇分析的神秘面纱，是系统功能语言学范式下研究语篇语义的杰作。
