BOOK



This book shows how Systemic Functional Linguistics may be used

to explore and explain the grammar of scientific examination

questions. The author outlines the key elements of this theory

and identifies problematical structures that affect the

linguistic validity of such education assessment questions. This

book also shows how examination questions may provide insight

into the relationship between teaching and language in

science

Do candidates give an incorrect answer because they do not

understand the topic or because they do not understand the

language by which the question is framed? This book shows how

the analysis of scientific examination questions can answer this

question

These chapters show how contemporary linguistics can inform the

assessment of science and address topics including: the role of

images, lexicography, the morphology of sentences, semantic

discontinuity and the active reader

An example question is used throughout the text to illustrate the

theories and each chapter has its own useful summary, making it a

very readable work
