Halliday poses the question of how a growing child comes to master this kind of language and put it to his or her own use as a means of learning.  In subsequent chapters, Halliday explores the relationship between language, education and culture, again taking the language of science as the focal point for the discussion; and finally he draws these various themes together to construct a linguistic interpretation of how we learn, and how we learn how to learn.
