'This volume explores the discourse of history across three languages (English, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese), focusing on the role played by history in shaping culture from a systemic functional linguistic perspective. Written by an impressive team of scholars, the chapters approach the disciplinary knowledge of history with respect to its distinctive choices of language features and provide new linguistic understandings of historical genres. A must-read for anyone interested in systemic functional linguistics, discourse analysis and history education.' Chang Chenguang, Professor of Linguistics, Sun Yat-sen University, China
