摘要
The theory of Grammatical Metaphor was first put forward by Halliday-the founder of systematic-functional school, whose research, however, only limited to ideational metaphor and interpersonal metaphor. Halliday took textual metaphor with a pinch of salt. This paper will focus on four representative forms of textual metaphor, that is, metaphorical thematic structure, metaphorical information structure, metaphorical cohesion and nominalization, based on Hotel English, to elaborate its factuality and theoreticality and excavate its functions in Hotel communication.
