Abstract

Abstract

Based on the “tenor of discourse” from the perspective of context in Systemic Functional Linguistics,the paper is a case study of Chapter2(5-8) of the Confucian Lun Yu,which explores the realization of tenorby text and paratext.The paper indicates that text realizes the tenor by means of the Mood and Modality system,etc.,paratextrealizes the tenor by means of providing the readers with the information of status and solidarity dimensions among speech participants.On the condition of notproviding the paratext,the translator needs to add status and solidarity information in the text itself to explicitize the original implicit shared information between the author and the source language readers.
