	Systemic functional grammar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Systemic functional grammar (SFG) is a grammar model developed by Michael Halliday — the most well-known component of a broad social semiotic approach to language called systemic-functional linguistics, originally articulated by Halliday in the 1960s.
		Halliday investigates linguistics as it were a sub-branch of sociology.
		Systemic functional grammar has been used to derive further grammatical accounts —for example, the model has been used by Richard Hudson to develop word grammar.

	Critical Theory and Systemic Linguistics: Textualizing the Contact Zone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Crudely put, whereas systemic linguistics problematizes the organization of text features in terms of their function in contexts of use, critical theory problematizes the organization of contexts in which those features are used.
		Because composition’s use of linguistics largely favored formal models of generative grammar and text linguistics, scholars using linguistics were simply unable to confront the ideological issues of power and subjectivity that have become central to the field.
		For systemic linguists, what is not at issue is how the elements of the situation came to be organized that way, whose interests are served by that organization, whether all participants experience that organization in the same way, or whether the organization is itself at issue among participants.

	Some notes on Systemic-Functional linguistics
		This view of language as a system for meaning potential implies that language is not a well defined system not a "the set of all grammatical sentences." It also implies that language exists and therefore must be studied in contexts such as professional settings, classrooms, and language tests.
		Systemic linguists chart their analyses by diagraming the choices language users can make in a given setting to realize a particular linguistic product.
		The primary construct for explaining linguistic variation is a familiar one "register." Register is important in systemic linguistics because it is seen as the linguistic consequence of interacting aspects of context, which Haliday calls "field, tenor, and mode." Field refers to the topics and actions which language is used to express.

		System 6: The +passive/+ergative opposition, realized in the passive and middle voice verb forms, was at first predicted to be skewed, but recent work on the concept of ergativity and voice for another project has caused us to believe that this system may be closer to equiprobable than we first thought
		System 12: In the attitude system, the ±assertive opposition, realized in the indicative and non-indicative (excluding participle and infinitive) mood forms, was predicted to be skewed, on the basis of what is already known of frequency of the indicative verbal form, as well as morphological, implicational and semantic criteria
		Systems 1 and 3 are skewed in their distribution, yet they have two positive semantic features indicated, such as in system 1 with +expectational and +aspectual.

	Systemic Functional Linguistics Definition
		Systemic-Functional Linguistics (SFL) is a theory of language centred around the notion of language function.
		Penman, an NLG system started at Information Sciences Institute in 1980, is one of the three main such systems, and has influenced much of the work in the field.
		One of the earliest and best-known parsing systems is Winograd's SHRDLU, which uses system networks and grammar as a central component.

		This paper focusses on the conception of metaphor in linguistics, and, to a lesser extent, philosophical theories of metaphor (philosophy being the first field in which metaphor came to be looked at).
		In the linguistic study of metaphor as a whole, two general aspects are important: (i) types of metaphor, i.e.
		Systemic-Functional Linguistics and the Notion of Grammatical Metaphor.

	[No title]
		Systemic grammar (Halliday, 1985) which has been developed by Halliday and other researchers is a formalism which provides information about many aspects of language.
		In systemics, an utterance is made by going through a system of choices, each of which can be a choice at different strata; situation, semantics, or syntax.
		With systemic grammar it is possible to infer a more global setting by taking into account a piece of linguistic information which appears in a partial utterance.

	Language & Linguistics - LRSP - Dept of English - Kent State
		The first part of the course will be spent on the basics of linguistic analysis and the major subfields in current linguistics, concentrating on the central questions, goals and methods of each.
		In this, the course examines the idea of function as it occurs in the description of the different levels of the linguistic system (phonology, morphology, and syntax), and it concentrates specifically on the dichotomy of theme and rheme.
		Second, the course focuses on the development of systemic functional linguistics in the Firthian and Hallidayian tradition, with its principal emphasis on functional grammar (clause as message, exchange, and representation) and with its aplications to discourse analysis (Halliday, Hasan and Martin).

	LINGUIST List 6.654: Functionalist School of Linguistics
		Functional linguistics considers language in regard to its relation to the outside world, the objective universe, and therefore tends to focus on its functions, communicative and other- wise, and tends to describe linguistic elements (morphemes, lexemes, syn- tactic constructions, etc.) in terms of how they contribute to these extralinguistic functions.
		Formal linguistics, on the other hand, tends to want to focus on the linguistic elements and constructions themselves, as items of scientific interest, looking to find patterns within and among these purely linguistic entities that lead to interesting and per- spicuous descriptive accounts.
		If i'm right, then what we have is not so much two distinct 'schools' of linguistics as two rather amorphous 'ways of doing linguistic research', with individual linguists plopping for one or the other, to varying degrees, on the basis to a great extent of personal taste and/or philo- sophical orientation.

	penman
		The objective of the Penman system is to function as a useful and theoretically motivated sentence generator for research groups interested in the nature of language, as well as to provide a text generation system that can be used routinely by computer system developers.
		Nigel, the English grammar, is based on the theory of Systemic Functional Linguistics (a theory of language as a means of communicating semantics, interpersonal meaning, and contextual effect [Halliday 85], and used in various other AI applications such as SHRDLU).
		In order to promote increased development of various computational aspects of Systemic Linguistics, Penman researchers have formed a multinational collaboration, in which work is shared among the partners through periodic updates and sharing of researchers.

		FRANCIS J. In the wake of postmodernism, composition studies’ attempts to import various forms of critical theory for the analysis and transformation of discursive practices have been radically problematized.
		As Faigley articulates it, composition studies have, for the most part, abandoned the modernist privileging of individual expression and mental processes and have turned to the examination of meanings and practices linked with certain discourses that are historically produced.

		This book is the first to combine interests in two currently popular approaches to language description, both of which are based on the observation of naturally-occurring, as opposed to invented, language.
		Systemic Functional Linguistics is a theory that focuses on meaning, choice and probability in language and on language as a social phenomenon.
		Corpus Linguistics is a practice, rather than a theory: a corpus is a large collection of texts that are used as the basis for language description.

	Welcome to Systemic Functional Linguistics
		Our conceptualization, or what might be called our “theories,” whether derived from personal experiences or from reading books and articles, shape the kinds of learning opportunities we provide our ELL students and are therefore highly consequential to their academic trajectories.
		For this reason, this course will introduce you to a perspective on language called: functional linguistics.
		While this perspective also accounts for the structure of language, it places the function of language as central (what language does, and how it does it).

	LINGUIST List 8.132: Systemic Functional Linguistics
		OBJECTIVES: By the end of the first week, participants will know: how the Systemic Functional model organizes three different modes of meaning in the lexico-grammar: the represention of experience, the enactment of speaker/addressee relationships, and the relation of language to the context in which it is unfolding.
		By the end of the second week, participants will know: how the Systemic Functional model organizes the three contextual dimensions in which language operates: purposeful activity, social interaction, and communicative event.
		Their role will be to make sure that the workshops are challenged to address the transdisciplinary concerns of the Summer School and Congress.
