Abstract |
In Chapter 6, we first introduce the criticisms and challenges to RST, such as Cloran, Stuart-Smith and Young’s (2007) comparison of RST with other discourse analytical tools and their criticisms of RST. In addition, we point out some possibilities of RST research in the future by answering some questions such as (i) How to carry out reliable analysis based on RST? (ii) In which areas are applications of RST needed? (iii) What are the pedagogical implications of RST? (iv) What further works on systemicizing RST in SFL are needed (see Matthiessen, Wang & Ma forthcoming)? |
