Halliday argues that this functional anization of language determines the form taken by grammatical structure. Ideational metafunction The ideational function is language concerned with building and maintaining a theory of experience. It includes the experiential function and the logical function. ,這是“經(jīng)驗(yàn)”( experiential)功能,或者說關(guān)于所說的“內(nèi)容”的功能。 Halliday’s view Textual metafunction Halliday argues that both experiential and interpersonal functions are intricately anized, but that between the two “ there is paratively very little constraint” . This means that “ by and large, you can put any interactional ‘ spin’ on any representational content” . What allows meanings from these two modes to freely bine is the intercession of a third, distinct mode of meaning that Halliday refers to as the textual fun
