love this lexicogrammar! i used sfg as a framework to analyse my data for my thesis. it was really difficult to fully understand sfg and be able to analyse all my texts. the hardest part was to interpret data from the analysis as i couldnt find any book showing me how to do it. my thesis advisor is friend with halliday. i saw their pics in his office :) i recommend that you read functional grammar book by halliday which was published in 2004 as it is pretty simple.
A disappointing end indeed to a life-work that could have been huge. You were right all those years ago. Pockets of real depth, and areas of real potential, undermined by the dilettanti you spoke of. Oh what could have been! Perhaps my work –I am sure you recall it well– will still see the light of day, who knows. That, I think, might be game changing, but who knows. In any event, I do hope I live to see it.

@nurz33 it is an abstract to me and many people. Just don't get it and think we can use another framework that's simplier than functional grammar.

It would be really helpful in a video this long to give a contents table with timings.

Thank you for posting this... I have read books by prof. Halliday but have never seen him. He is an authority in my country...
