SFL (Systemic Functional Linguistics) scholars

Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) scholars are linguists who study how language functions in social contexts. They examine how language choices reflect and shape relationships, identities, and cultural norms. SFL scholars focus on understanding the purpose behind language use, analyzing features like grammar, vocabulary, and tone to see how they serve communication goals. Their work helps explain how language adapts to different situations—like in conversation, writing, or media—highlighting its role in social interaction and meaning-making.
