Dear Colleagues,

Here's a terminological distinction you might find useful:

Halliday (2008: 78):

I do make a distinction between these two; but it is a difference in *point
of view*, between different *angles of vision* on the phenomena, not in the
phenomena themselves. So we can use either to define the other:

   - “discourse” is text that is being viewed *in its sociocultural context*,
   while
   - “text” is discourse that is being viewed *as a process of language*.
