11、d uses of language， which， since they seem to determine the nature of the language system， require to be incorporated into our account of that system?！県alliday argues that this functional organization of language determines the form taken by grammatical structure. halliday refers to his functions of

12、 language asmetafunctions. he proposes three general functions： theideational (natual world）， theinterpersonal (social world）and thetextual (verbal world）。ideational metafunctionthe ideational function is to convey new information， to communicate a content that is unknown to the hearer. present in a

13、ll language uses， the ideational function is a meaning potential， because whatever specific use one is making of language he has to refer to categories of his experience of the world。 the ideational metafunction is the function for construing human experience. it is the means by which we make sense

14、of ”reality.halliday divides the ideational into the logical and the experiential metafunctions。 the logical metafunction refers to the grammatical resources for building up grammatical units into complexes， for instance, for combining two or more clauses into a clause complex。 the experiential func

15、tion refers to the grammatical resources involved in construing the flux of experience through the unit of the clause.the principal system for the ideational function is the “transitivity” system。 in english， we make choices between different types of processes， participants, and circumstances。 they

16、 are known collectively as the transitivity choices. we first divide the choices into six kinds： material process， behavioral process， mental process, verbal process, relational process and existential process。material process is a process of doing something。 we can distinguish two types of material

17、 process： action process (john kicked the ball） and event process (the train left five minutes ago). within mental process， there is first the distinction between internalized process (i like it) and externalized process (it puzzled me)。 behavioral process is related to some physical behaviors （john

18、 laughed) and verbal process is related to the verbal deeds (john said it is cold in the room）。 relational process is related to attribution and identification （john is on the sofa) and existential process is related to the existing thing (there is a cat on the sofa）.interpersonal metafunctionthe in

19、terpersonal metafunction embodies all uses of language to express social and personal relations。 this includes the various ways the speaker enters a speech situation and perform a speech act. because the clause is not confined to the expression of transitivity, there are non-ideational elements in t

20、he adult language system。 interpersonal function is realized by mood and modality。 mood shows what role the speaker selects in the speech situation and what role he assigns to the addressee。 if the speaker selects the imperative mood， he assumes the role of one giving commands and puts the addressee

21、 in the role of one expected to obey orders. mood is made up of two parts： the “subject” and “finite” element. the subject can be a noun, a noun phrase， or a clause. for example， ignoring the problem will not make your work easier。 finite elements are tense morphemes, auxiliary verbs and modal verbs

22、 that express tense or modality, and they are part of the verb phrase.modality specifies if the speaker is expressing his judgment or making a prediction。 for example, give me that teapot!the textual functionthe textual function refers to the fact that language has mechanisms to make any stretch of

24、function include theme, rheme， information and cohesion.theme is about which gives thee clause its character as a meaning. in the textual metaunction, a clause is analyzed into theme and rheme。 for example, this house was built by john smith. this house is the theme and was built by john smith is the rheme. and the theme can be divided into unmarked theme and marked theme。 unmarked theme is that the theme is same with the subject while marked them means that the theme is different from the subject.information, in its technical grammat
