Welcome to the Systemic Functional Linguistics Task Force! We are a group of editors dedicated to improving the coverage on Wikipedia of systemic functional linguistics which has grown into a significant area since the 1970s, with precursors earlier that century. The field has had a major influence on linguistics research and teaching at universities and on school curricula in parts of the English-speaking world. Semiotic in its orientation and geared towards the analysis of spoken and written discourse, it is pursued almost entirely in relation to English (with more recent offshoots in other languages).
SFL has had very patchy coverage on en.WP, despite its prominence as a field of modern linguistics. This task-force page is a first attempt to provide professionals and students with a hub to coordinate their work to build this topic on the English Wikipedia.
Tony1 has volunteered to be the janitor, as it were, to ensure that the induction of SFL professionals and students who register as en.WP editors is smooth, and that they have someone to go to with questions about WP's rather complex policies, guidelines, and procedures. But it is up to the professionals to take the reigns beyond this, since he is only an amateur linguist. Please edit this page as you wish. Click Discussion at the top-left to say anything you like!
Many more articles need to be created, and the existing ones need expansion, editing, and cleaning up. An eponymous category has been created for easier navigation around SFL-related articles, for both readers and editors.
