Abstract

Abstract

The denial of essentialism and commitment to constructivism are made explicit by Halliday and Matthiessen while proposing the evolutionary theory of meaning or the semogenesis theory, in echo with the disputes between essentialists (or logical empiricists) and constructivists in the 20th century Western academic arena of philosophy of science. The semogenesis theory inherits the European functionalists’ tradition that adopts the sociocultural perspective on the relationship between language and reality, which in turn sheds light on the insightfulness of the constructivist view on meaning. Furthermore, with the leading figures of the systemic school extending the semogenic approach to interdisciplinary studies of scientific genre, language programming, biology and sociology, etc., the applicability as well as the infinite potential for the development of systemic linguistics is fully demonstrated.
