Abstract

Abstract

This paper takes a systemic functional approach to the syntactic analysis of the “wh-continuing clause” in English anew, and it finds that this special continuing clause has some new features: (1) the relatives of wh-continuing clause could be a pronoun like which and who, or an adverb like where and when etc. (2) the logic-semantic relation between the initiating clause and wh-continuing clause may be “extension” or “enhance”. In addition, the author also discusses the English-Chinese translation of wh-continuing clause, which shows that SFG also has its great power and advantages in guiding the research on the theory and practice of translation.
