Summary Systemic Functional Grammar Text Grammar Meeting 2

Functional grammar is deals with theory of language as social semiotic to make

meanings through texts, communication happens in texts and helps us understand how texts
work produce texts.
The main theory about Language (SFL/SFG) is the use of functional language whose
function is to make meanings that these meanings are influenced by the social and cultural
context in which they are exchanged through the process of using language is a semiotic
process and the process of interpreting by choosing.
Language in a socio-semiotic perspective is a general ideology that has an intellectual
attitude, a conceptual angle on the subject. A general study of signs, a study of meaning in the
most general sense.
Linguistics is a kind of semiotics. In the semiotic system, there is a set of cultural
systems, a set of meaning systems, all of which are interconnected. Example: Traffic light,
color, Language (sound, letter), Interpretation of color (salted egg, navy blue).
Language as social semiotics
This social is shared by the community and by convention to show signs that refer to
something other than itself for all levels of words, phrases, sentences, texts. For example
traffic lights, colors, characters, language, etc.
How discourse is realized?
How communication happens?
What central to discourse analysis?
All of that can be used in text form
Text is a semantic unit. How did it happen? because something can be called text if it
has meaning, spoken and written and is not a phonological or graphological unit. It happens
in the context of the situation. The context of the situation itself has three elements, namely
Subject matter (field), Participants involved (tenor), Channel (mode).
Every culture produces text types (genre). there is two general purposes:
Transactional and Interpersonal genres.
Transactional is getting things done.
Interpersonal is for different communication purposes.
