체계기능언어학의 특성과 텍스트 평가

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discover the nature of Systemic Functional Linguistics(SFL) and how it applies to text evaluation. The main goals of SFL are to understand and evaluate the text. SFL focuses on the usage of language in the context to analyze the text. In other words, SFL empathizes on the structure of the text. Structured language material refers to three meta-functions: conceptual, interpersonal, and textual. They are practiced through essential text-analytic methods such as transitivity, mood, and theme. ‘System’ from the meaning of SFL is based on paradigmatic relation; thus, deciding which vocabulary and grammatical expressions are more important. This thesis explores two different newspaper editorials’ grammatical expressions based on mood, transitivity, and theme. Progressive newspaper uses command form or often insists subjective thoughts authoritatively by using mental clause. In addition, they foreground against opposite opinions by using marked theme to accelerate insistence. Conservative newspaper uses emotionally attached strategy to express concerns and worries through conversation based writing. Also, they draw negative evaluations to particular objects by frequently using relational clause.
