Thankyou to Yaegan Doran and all collaborators for a terrific presentation on ‘PERSPECTIVES’ on field (or is it perspectives IN field???). The struggle to find a metalanguage which can make sense of secondary curriculum teachers’ most pressing concerns with disciplinary knowledge has been made so much easier. New descriptions often cause me to want to hide my head in the sand but the care Yaegan and others have taken to connect these understandings to emerging work in sociology (LCT) and to Jing Hao’s work in Ideation is a real sell!!!. Halliday would indeed be proud of such applicable scholarship. Looking forward to more conversations and publications!!!

To be clear, this is one proponent of Jim Martin's misunderstandings of SFL theory, Humphrey, advocating the work of two fellow proponents, Doran and Hao. For evidence that Martin misunderstands the SFL notion of field, see here. For evidence that Martin's system of IDEATION is based on misunderstandings of SFL theory, see here. For evidence that Martin misunderstands SFL theory in general, see here.
Postscript:
Humphrey's positive appreciation was subsequently endorsed on sysfunc at 20:58 on 2 September 2018 by another proponent of Jim Martin's misunderstandings of SFL theory, Shooshi Dreyfus:
