Cate Poynton

Catherine "Cate" McKean Poynton (1942 – 2021) was an Australian linguist known for her contributions to systemic functional linguistics. Her work focused on the relationship between language, gender, and social relations. Poynton was a pioneer in the description of tenor and interpersonal meaning, which later became foundational to the development of the appraisal framework.

She held appointments at the University of South Australia, and at Western Sydney University.
