Abstract

Abstract

Functional Grammar is the essential component of Systematic Functional Linguistics (SFL). Functional Grammar has been growing in a functional-based and meaning-oriented fashion, which endows SFL with great potential in the wide-ranged application. Halliday set out to develop Functional Grammar by combining the functional approach to linguistic study from Prague School and the meaning-oriented view of language from London School, which constantly contributed to its meaning orientation in the theoretical construction hereafter. As a necessary step to building a semantic-oriented grammar theory, the exploration of language functions was in turn facilitated by social semiotics. The latest Functional Grammar is a clear display of the ecological features of human language as a social semiotic system.
