METODOLOGÍA PARA LA DESCRIPCIÓN DE GÉNEROS EN EL MARCO DE LA LINGÜÍSTICA SISTÉMICO-FUNCIONAL: SU ADAPTACIÓN AL ESPAÑOL.

The aim of this paper is to approach the methodology for description of genres in the frame of systemic-functional linguistics (SFL) in Spanish. The purpose of this work is to contribute to fields of discourse analysis and its application to genre-based pedagogies to teaching reading and writing in that language. To do this, SFL is treated as an appliable linguistics (Halliday, 2008), related to its context, as a mode of intervention in critical social practices. The theoretical and methodological base utilized is from Martin (1992a), developed afterwards by Martin and his disciples over time up to nowadays. As this proposal has been established for English, here it is adapted to Spanish when necessary, departing from research done in the last decade. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
