Halliday (1987: 136):
From now on, the human sciences have to assume at least an equal responsibility in establishing the foundations of knowledge. Their coat-tailing days are over. But if so, our practitioners will surely have to learn to behave responsibly, instead of squandering themselves in the wasteful struggle for originality in which everyone else must be deconstructed so that each can leave his (or her) mark. We have to build on our predecessors and move forward, instead of constantly staying behind where they were in order to trample them underfoot.
