Portfolio Entry #6: SFL: Systemic Functional Linguistics


Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) is an approach that allows us to represent the structure of language at the level of form. During the study, Michael Halliday states that the semiotic resources of the language are developed by how people use them to make meaning, emphasizing the social functions they are put to. 


The next Google Slide Presentation is based on the theory about Genre, Text, Grammar: Technologies for Teaching and Assessing Writing

⇝ According to SFL, it can examine the inside of the language and it helps us to understand the context and explain the meanings of my productions which were born in pandemic and developed in digital media. In other words, SFL enables me to explore how meanings are represented in context, and this theory focuses on three specific perspectives that allow me to construct and search how meanings are explained since I write or speak in English such as in digital texts, tweets and blogs or a paper.

It is significant to know discourse analysis as a powerful tool that helps us to make sense of written or spoken language. Furthermore, it studies information such as the grammatical aspects and roles that we need to achieve communicative purposes.  

Nowadays, as a student, I should not only acquire aspects regarding vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation, but I also need to know how to use the language in real situations. Additionally, I am a learner and I should learn how to identify the purpose of texts.  Due to the fact, I will need to continue exploring the necessary tools to identify the structure of texts in terms of language, genre, functions, form, linguistic features, words, and intentions to lead them to complex analyses of discourses.
