系统功能语言学对外语教学的启示

The implications of Systematic Functional Linguistics for Foreign Languages Teaching and Learning

系统功能语法包括"系统语法"和"功能语法"两个部分,但这不是两种语法的简单总和,而是一种完整的语言理论框架的两个不可分割的部分。从韩礼德对语言学和语言的一些基本观点,本文进一步探索贯穿于他的系统功能语法的理论核心。本文主要讨论了系统功能语言学的六个主要思想:纯理功能的思想,系统的思想,层次的思想,功能的思想,近似的或盖然的思想,语境的思想。韩礼德的系统功能语法思想对外语教学具有深刻地的启示意义。本文主要从四个方面来论述这个问题:把外语作为系统来教,语言形式与语言功能在外语教学中并重,在语境教学中进行词汇的文化和语用知识导入。

Systematic functional grammar includes “systematic grammar” and “functional grammar”, but it is a complete language theory not the simple sum of two grammars. Based on Halliday＇ basic opinions about linguistics and language, this paper further gopes the nucleus theory of Halliday＇ systematic functional linguistics. It mainly discusses its six main thoughts： metafuncfional ideas, systematic ideas, sequential ideas, functional ideas, contextual ideas and approximative or probabilistic ideas.

The paper tries to specify the implications from the following four aspects： teaching foreign language as a system; stressing the language forms and language functions; leading in the words＇ pragmatic knowledge and cultural knowledge in contexts,
