Assess ability to apply systemic functional linguistics to analyze and compare academic writing genres (e.g., research articles, abstracts, literature reviews). Tasks include identifying metafunctions (ideational/experiential, interpersonal, textual), register features (field, tenor, mode), clause-level resources (transitivity, mood, modality, theme-rheme), genre-specific rhetorical moves, and deriving pedagogical or disciplinary implications from annotated analyses. Scope: graduate-level application and interpretation.
