Modes of Meaning in High School Science.
Young, Richard F.; Nguyen, Hanh Thi
Applied Linguistics, v23 n3 p348-72 Sep 2002
Using a framework of systemic functional grammar, compares two modes of presenting the same scientific topic: in a physics textbook and in interactive teacher talk. Three aspects of scientific meaning making are analyzed: representations of physical and mental reality, lexical packaging, and the rhetorical structure of reasoning. (Author/VWL)
