Academic literacies research has tended to focus on writers in context, while systemic functional linguistic research has tended to focus on texts in context.

It is proposed that middle- and upper-middle-class slang used among white young people in modern America shows age-related themes. For youngsters between the ages of eight and early adolescence, the major theme in slang use is to establish in-group and out-group membership, with standards of judgment based on clothes, manners, and physical appeal.…
