Hallidayan Functional Linguistics

Hallidayan Functional Linguistics is a way of studying language by focusing on how it functions in people's lives. It views language as a tool used to communicate and fulfill different social purposes, such as sharing information, expressing feelings, or building relationships. Instead of just analyzing grammar rules, it examines how language choices help us accomplish these goals in context. The approach emphasizes that language is shaped by and serves social needs, making it a flexible and meaningful tool for human interaction.
