David Rose Judging 'Old Man' Halliday

I’m interested in the fields these metaphors are imported from. Put ‘exchange’ together with ‘powerhouse where meaning are made’, with what we know of the old man’s history and what motivated his career, and we get the field of Marxist theory of economic production and exchange, combined with Hjelmslev’s theory of semiotic strata.

Far from revisionism, each of us can do no more than apply and extend the old man’s work…
