Halliday's Systemic Functional Grammar

Halliday's Systemic Functional Grammar is a linguistic theory that views language as a tool for communication, shaped by social context. It focuses on three main functions: the ideational function, which conveys ideas and experiences; the interpersonal function, which establishes relationships and attitudes; and the textual function, which organizes information in a coherent way. This framework suggests that language is not just a set of rules but a means to express meaning and fulfill social purposes, influencing how we communicate in various situations.
