We explore how language is used in various communicational contexts and show the way in which it constructs social and cultural meanings. In particular, we focus on the following areas:


1. Metadiscourse: Our research explores how writers and speakers use language to help their audience navigate the text by analysing markers of stance, commentary, transitions, and engagement.

2. Critical Discourse Analysis: We conduct research to reveal the relationships between language, power, and institutionalized social structure.

3. Systemic Functional Linguistics: Our research deals with how language functions as a social semiotic system and examines language as a resource for making meaning. We focus on how language choices reflect social, cultural, and situational contexts. Our research also examines the relationships between form and function, examining how grammar, discourse, and context are interconnected.

4. Analysis of Translated Texts: We examine the translation of texts to show their crossing into languages and cultures, with a particular focus on the issue of linguistic choice affecting meaning and interpretation across contexts.
