系统功能语言学研究的国际前沿趋势

Frontiers and Trends in International Research on Systemic Functional Linguistics

2017年以来,系统功能语言学(SFL)相关理论研究成果持续增长,视觉语法、合法化语码理论、人际语法、生态语言学、语法隐喻理论、翻译理论拓展尤为突出,语音和词汇、系统思想、语境研究、加的夫语法研究相对薄弱。应用研究中话语相关研究、教育教学、多模态、翻译与类型学等持续迅猛发展,健康与科技、认知与语言政策、体态语和手(势)语相关研究方兴未艾。新时代和新技术期待深化意义为本的语言学理论,SFL可在未来人机(际)交互以及网络化与日俱增的语言活动中发挥重要作用。这要求SFL不仅要继续加深话语研究,还要加强语音、词汇、系统描写等基础研究,拓展儿童语言、计算与计量研究、特定语言描写,聚焦于人机交互以及网络选择层面的语言理论探讨。

Theoretical studies from the perspective of systemic functional linguistics(SFL)continue to grow strong,particularly with developments in visual grammar,legitimation code theory,interpersonal grammar,eco-linguistics,grammatical metaphor,and translation theory.Comparatively,few studies are on the theoretical issues in phonology and vocabulary,system,context,or the Cardiff Grammar.Among the applied studies,discourse-related research,education and teaching,multimodality,translation and typology are developing rapidly,whereas studies related to health and technology,cognition and language policy,body language and sign(gesture)language are on the rise.New technologies in the new era today call for the deepening of meaning-based linguistic theories,and SFL can play an important role for this purpose in the future human-machine interaction and increasingly networked language activities.SFL is supposed to not only continue to deepen the research on discourse,but also to strengthen the research on phonology,vocabulary,and system description.The research on children's language,computational and quantitative research,and language description needs to be strengthened as well.More importantly,the focus should be on theoretical issues of language at the levels of human-machine interaction and networked meaning choices.
