The LCT-SFL Roundtable brings together those who are interested in LCT and/or systemic functional linguistics every fortnight during semesters. It is a friendly and informal forum in which anyone can present their ideas (however nascent), discuss issues, raise questions, present papers, etc.
If YOU would like to lead a Roundtable or want to suggest a topic or reading for discussion, and for more information contact: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
