What are the salient points in M.A.K Halliday's systemic grammar

Answer 1

Hi!

The M.A.K Halliday's concept of Systemic Functional Grammar also known as Hallidayan Linguistics sees grammar as:

• a meaning-making resource; and
• emphasizes on the interrelation of form and meaning in a sentence.

Following are some of the salient features of Systemic Functional Grammar:

1. Some interlinked concepts such as system, function (meta), and rank describe Halliday's concept of how language works.
2. Grammar and Lexis are parts of the same canvas of language.

I hope that answers your question.
