Abstract

Abstract

Systemic grammar has played a central role since the founding of Systemic Functional Linguistics. It features the systemic view of language, instantiation, and stratification as its core theoretical tenets. Drawing on from Structuralism, the Copenhagen School, and the London School, systemic grammar has conducted in-depth research on the linguistic systems as well as the relations between system and structure, and between system and instance. By utilizing system networks as a cartographic representation, systemic grammar is particularly enlightening for the explanation of issues from within and outside the linguistic system. As a major driving force in Systemic Functional Linguistics, systemic grammar has both enriched the theory and broadened its research scope, thus greatly facilitating the appliableness of Systemic Functional Linguistics.
