1. Goals
Upon the completion of this course, the students are expected:
(a) to have a solid understanding of the key topics in functional grammar
(b) to be able to analyse texts by means of functional grammar theory
(c) to be able to relate the analysis to the concerns of critical language awareness.
2. Contents:
This course will provide a step-by-step account of functional grammar, a meaning based study of
grammar that has recently been developed. The discussion focuses on three types of meaning, i.e.
ideational (further subdivided into experiential and logical meaning), interpersonal, and textual.
The course will also relate the study of Functional Grammar to critical awareness of language
use.
3. Learning Activities:
Lecturing, discussion, and working on assignments are the main sites of learning process.
Students are expected to submit chapter reports prior to the class, indicating that they have
necessary preparation to understand the topics discussed. The course also requires that students
apply their understanding of the key concepts through text analysis.
4. Prerequisite: Syntax, Introduction to Grammar.
