Abstract

This essay aims at providing a proposal of theorizing on the interface between literacy, discourse and functional grammar, through the selection of the Social Theory of Literacy (Barton & Hamilton, 1998; 2000), in the New Literacy Studies, Critical Discourse Analysis (Fairclough, 1992; Chouliaraki & Fairclough, 1999) and Systemic Functional Linguistics (Halliday, 1994). It sets out from a discussion on the possibility of integration between the fields of literacy and discourse and carries on towards a dialogue with ethnography and functional grammar. At the end, some implications of this proposal for discourse and ethnography based literacy research are presented.
