This study aims to illustrate a systemic functional framework for analysing the change of constructions which are inherently form-meaning correspondences. The study first discusses the value of systemic functional linguistics (hereafter SFL) to solving the perceived problems arising from the theoretical model of grammaticalisation. The dominance of grammaticalisation theory in historical linguistics has led some to equate grammaticalisation with language change. However, a systematic exploration of the semantic change is frequently lost in the literature on grammaticalisation. SFL, since its beginning in the early 1980s, has become a leading linguistics school in dealing with semantic and lexicogrammatical changes and the mapping between meaning and form. This study proposes a framework in which SFL theories allow us to address the critical issues in construction change, hence providing mechanisms for the diachronic analysis of both semantic and lexicogrammatical changes. On the basis of the framework, this study focuses its analysis on the change of resultative constructions (hereafter RCs) in Old Chinese and Old English. The diachronic analysis shows that new constructions emerge through a cycle of language change in which the interaction of semantics and lexicogrammar plays a central role. In addition, semantic condensing and compacting are critical steps in the creation of new constructions.

Michael Halliday’s and Ruqaiya Hasan’s estates have been found to include a large amount of unpublished materials: draft papers, research notes, photographs, comments on student papers and so on. They comprise important elements of their legacy and a potential research resource. In this paper we outline a project to preserve and digitise these materials and to make them readily available internationally. The project is being carried out under the auspices of, and with the support of, the Australian Systemic Functional Linguistics Association Inc. (ASFLA).

This corpus assisted investigation of the auxiliary verb will examines the various modalities and functions realised in the register of political briefings given by Scottish (Holyrood) and United Kingdom (Westminster) representatives throughout the first year of the coronavirus pandemic. A trinocular approach is taken to consider the lexicogrammatical environment of will (from around), the discourse semantics of will (from above) and the relationship between contraction and meaning (from below). Our trinocular approach with a focus on will as a highly frequent item with great meaning potential has enabled us to gain insights about the nature of how politicians used modality to persuade, organise and empathise within coronavirus media briefings and thus shape their public personas as leaders.

This paper focuses on some language resources for graduating points of view in written Spanish language in the field of history. The analysis is framed in systemic functional linguistic theory, a multifunctional theory of language (Halliday with Matthiessen 2014), and focuses on the appraisal system, which organises interpersonal meanings at the stratum of discourse semantics in language (Martin and White 2005; Martin 2019; White 2021). In particular, it considers the coupling and necessary complementarity of graduation and engagement subsystems, as part of the appraisal system, for building intersubjectivity in texts. To achieve this purpose, the analysis explores the role of the Spanish lexicogrammatical system of modality (modalisation and modulation) in the construction of dialogicity in historical documents.
本文着重介绍了历史领域书面西班牙语毕业观点的一些语言资源。该分析是在系统功能语言学理论框架下进行的，这是一种语言的多功能理论(Halliday with Matthiessen 2014)，并侧重于评价系统，该系统在语言的话语语义层组织人际意义(Martin and White 2005;马丁2019;白2021)。特别是，它考虑了毕业和参与子系统的耦合和必要的互补性，作为评价系统的一部分，以建立文本的主体间性。为达到这一目的，本文探讨了西班牙语情态词汇语法系统(情态化和调节性)在历史文献对话建构中的作用。

David G. Butt
The paper argues for a semiotic – in fact, a grammatical – origin to a profound dimension of the human psyche: William James (1890, 1920[1892]) observed how there were far reaching effects from what he characterised as the “duplex self”. This ME/I relation requires cohesion, or co-ordination, much as first suggested by Hughlings Jackson and Théodule Ribot in the mid nineteenth century. The analysis of grammatical equations (identifying clauses) by the functional linguist M. A. K. Halliday can be called upon to show how many important relationships are enfolded in the apparently simple syntax of BE, and of some other cognate verbs. Through detailed exemplification, the paper shows how a double narrative of the “self” is an inevitable consequence of the first person taking on different combinations of grammatical address. This semiotic aspect of the psyche is also discussed in relation to bilaterian or “doubles” in a number of human sciences.
这篇论文认为，符号学——事实上，语法学——起源于人类心理的一个深刻维度：威廉·詹姆斯（18901920[1892]）观察到，他所描述的“双重自我”是如何产生深远影响的。这种ME/I关系需要凝聚力或协调性，正如Hughlings Jackson和Théodule Ribot在19世纪中期首次提出的那样。功能语言学家M对语法方程式（识别从句）的分析。 A. 韩礼德（K.Halliday）可以用来展示be和其他一些同源动词看似简单的语法中包含了多少重要的关系。通过详细的例证，本文展示了“自我”的双重叙事是第一人称采用不同语法地址组合的必然结果。在许多人文科学中，心理的符号学方面也与双边或“双重”有关。

This paper presents a text-based comparative study of the construal of entities through nominal groups in Lhasa Tibetan and Mandarin Chinese. It approaches the grammatical description of nominal groups from the ideational and textual perspectives, and gives priority to the perspective “from above”, taking as point of departure the discourse semantic systems of ideation and identification. From the perspective of ideation, the comparison focuses on the classification, description and quantification of entities. From the perspective of identification, the comparison focuses on the presentation or presumption of entities in discourse, and the determination and qualification of them. In terms of grammatical realisations, the nucleus function of a nominal group, Thing, enters into multivariate structures with a range of pre- and post-Thing functions. However, configuration and realisation of the functions are language-specific. This study makes explicit structural consequences of systemic choices in nominal group grammar, and attends to the problem of structural markers, drawing on the notion of “subjacency” structure proposed in Martin et al. (2021) and Martin and Doran (this issue).
本文以拉萨藏语和普通话为研究对象，对名义群体对实体的解释进行了基于文本的比较研究。它从概念和语篇的角度探讨名词群的语法描述，并以“从上面”的角度为优先，以概念和识别的话语语义系统为出发点。从概念的角度来看，比较侧重于实体的分类、描述和量化。从认同的角度来看，比较的重点是话语中实体的呈现或假设，以及它们的确定和限定。在语法实现方面，名词群的核心功能“物”进入多元结构，具有一系列“物前”和“物后”功能。然而，函数的配置和实现是特定于语言的。本研究明确了名称组语法中系统选择的结构后果，并关注结构标记的问题，借鉴了Martin et al.(2021)和Martin and Doran(本期)提出的“从属”结构的概念。

This paper reports on the adaptation of Sydney School genre pedagogy’s Teaching Learning Cycle for the design of a workshop that aims to encourage disability support workers and their managers to think more expansively about the people with intellectual disabilities they work with and support. The paper introduces the pedagogy and its theoretical underpinnings as well as the two fields of knowledge that are drawn on in the workshop: person-centred care and positive behaviour support. It then details the design and implementation of the workshops and finishes with some evidence of the workshop’s initial impact on workers and the disability organisation’s support of people living with disability.
