Lexico Grammar

1. What is the different between traditional grammar and systemic functional grammar?
Give the example!
Answer:
Traditional grammar is the collection of prescriptive rules and concepts about
the structure of language that is commonly taught in schools. It is prescriptive because it
focuses on the distinction between what some people do with language and what
they ought to do with it and the concepts treated in traditional grammars include, subject,
predicate, object, complement, noun, adjective, determiner, verb, adverb, preposition,
conjunction, pronoun, etc. For instance: people tend to say "Who are you going with?"
even though that is incorrect and the correct form would be "With whom are you going?"
(Prepositions should always precede their objects, and "who" should be in the objective
case "whom").
Traditional grammar mainly focuses on the role and meaning of individual words and
functional grammar is more concerned with units of meaning and typically groups words
into units of contextual meaning.

Systemic functional grammar is concerned with the way that the different kinds
of meaning that contribute to grammatical structure are comprehensively addressed. It is
concerned with resources for:

 analysing experience - what is going on


 analysing interaction - who is communicating with whom
 analysing the ways in which messages are constructed
 functional grammar is particularly helpful for explaining how language is selected
and organised in particular ways for particular socio-cultural purposes. Important
variables for describing such different usages are field (information), tenor
(formality) and mode (spoken/written). In classroom contexts, functional grammar
has been associated with genres, which are predictable, identifiable ways of using
language. Other systemic functional grammar terms which people might have heard
include circumstance, participant and process

2. What is systemic functional grammar and system functional linguistic ?


Answer :
SFL ( systemic functional linguistic )
Systemic-functional linguistics (SFL), is a study of functions and semantics which is
claimed to be the basis of human language and communicative activity. As opposed to
structural approaches that focuses primarily on syntax, SFL-oriented linguists begin with
an exploration into social contexts and move on from there to look at how language acts
upon, and is constrained and influenced by this social context. Halliday states that
language is the study of how people exchange meanings through the use of language.
Systemic Functional theory views language as a social semiotic a resource of people use
to accomplish their purposes by expressing meanings in context. Haliday wrote, “the
value of theory” lies in the use that can be made of it, and He has always considered a
theory of language to be essentially consumer oriented”. (1985a, p. 7). System
Fungcional Linguistic is an approach to linguistics that considers language as a social
semiotic system. It was developed by Michael Halliday . SFL is analysis of authentic
products of social interaction , within a particular social and cultural context.

SFG ( System functional grammar )


SFG is a part of social semiotic approach to language systemic functional linguistic. The
term systemic refers to the view of language as a “ network of systems, or interrelated of
options for making meaning”. The term functional refers to Halliday’s view that language
is as its because of what it has envolved to do. Grammar , for halliday is described as
sytem not as rules , on the basis that every grammatical structure involves a choice from
a describable options. Systemic functional grammar is an approach to linguistic that
consider language as a social semiotic system . The label “systematic is related to the
system networks used in the description of the lexico grammar of human languages.
System is used of two related ways in systemic functional theory this of system ,
grammatical or other features of language are considered best understood when described
as sets of option .

3. a. Lexico Grammar is a term used in systemic functional linguistics (SFL) to emphasize


the interdependence of--and continuity between--vocabulary (lexis) and syntax
(grammar).The term lexicogrammar (literally, lexicon plus grammar) was introduced by
linguist M.A.K. Halliday. Adjective: lexicogrammatical. Also called lexical grammar.
Lexico-Grammar concerns the syntactic organisation of words into utterances.
b. Text is unit of language in use. Its not grammatical unit, such as a clause and its not
defined by its size. A text has Context concerns the Field (what is going on), Tenor (the
social roles and relationships between the participants), and the Mode (aspects of the
channel of communication, e.g., monologic/dialogic, spoken/written, +/- visual-contact,
etc.).

c.Contex is background environment framework , setting, or situation , surrounding an


event or assurance word and sentences that occur before or after a word or sentence and
imbue it with a particular meaning ,circumstances under which a document was created ,
including its function , purpose, use, time, the creator, and the recipient.

d. Semantic is the study of the meaning of linguistic expression. The language can be a
natural language, such as English or Navago, or an artificial language, like a computer
programming language.
f. Syntax is the grammar , structure, in order of the elements in a language statement
(semantics is the meaning of these elements)n syntax applies to computer language as
well as to natural language.

g. Lexis is the complete set of all possible words in a language. In example , child,
children, child’s and children’s are four different are four different words in the English
Lexicon. So, a lexis or lexical item is the way one calls a particular thing or a type of
phenomenon.

h. Lexicon is a group of words that make up a language for example each of the words in
this sentence are just a few of the words that make up the English lexicon. Lexicon is the
group of words that are used to create a programming language for instance , do, if are
just a little bis example of words that found in many programming language.
