Routledge Handbook of Transdisciplinary Systemic Functional Linguistics

Rebekah Wegener is Associate Professor in Applied Linguistics at the University of Salzburg, Austria. Drawing on functional approaches to language, her research connects theoretical frameworks with applications through multimodal interaction across contexts, computer-mediated communication, and human-computer interaction. Bridging linguistics and practical applications, she explores human-centered and explainable AI in medical and educational domains.Anne McCabe is Professor Emerita of English at Saint Louis University’s Madrid Campus, where she has taught courses in rhetoric, academic writing, linguistics, public speaking, and English as an additional language. Her research focuses mainly on linguistics applied to language education and she is a member of the UAM-CLIL research group (http://www.uam-clil.org).Akila Sellami Baklouti is a Professor of English language and ‎linguistics at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of Sfax (Tunisia). She mainly lectures on systemic functional grammar, academic writing, and research methodology. Her ‎research interests and PhD supervision areas include Systemic Functional Linguistics, genre analysis, and genre-based contrastive and translation studies.Lise Fontaine is a Professor in the Department of Lettres et Communication Sociale at the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR), and also serves as Director of the undergraduate program committee. Her academic work is centred on linguistic theory, with specific interests in functional grammar, lexicons-grammar, semantics, and referring expressions. Fontaine applies linguistic approaches in interdisciplinary contexts as well.
