Abstract
This is a study of the tools for describing language-in-context in Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), and
specifically, the way in which dynamic time can be added to this description. Of central importance in this exploration are the
concepts of stratification and instantiation and their interaction, and the way in which this interaction is ‘achieved’
metafunctionally and dynamically through the construction of relevant contexts spanning various time scales. The article proposes
a new theorization of context in SFL, in which context is regarded as an interplay of different interfacing semiotic strata, and a
meshing of multiple complementary and interacting processes of mediation which are at work at different scales of semogenesis.
期刊介绍:
Functions of Language is an international journal of linguistics which explores the functionalist perspective on the organisation and use of natural language. It encourages the interplay of theory and description, and provides space for the detailed analysis, qualitative or quantitative, of linguistic data from a broad range of languages. Its scope is broad, covering such matters as prosodic phenomena in phonology, the clause in its communicative context, and regularities of pragmatics, conversation and discourse, as well as the interaction between the various levels of analysis. The overall purpose is to contribute to our understanding of how the use of languages in speech and writing has impacted, and continues to impact, upon the structure of those languages.
