Video lectures to accompany An Introduction to Functional Grammar

In this talk, I introduce Halliday's approach to the study of language, including grammar, and explain why he calls his approach 'systemic' and 'functional'.  

An Introduction to Functional Grammar from Annabelle Lukin on Vimeo.

In this talk I introduce the basic 'dimensions' or 'working assumptions' of Halliday's systemic functional linguistics. The talk describes the dimensions of language in Halliday's systemic functional theory. Halliday calls these "working assumptions" or "hypotheses" that enabled him "to formulate, and begin to explore a broad variety of questions concerning language" (Halliday 2003: 1) I introduce here the concepts of:

1. structure, syntagmatic order and the rank scale
2. system, or the paradigmatic order
3. stratification and realization
4. instantiation
5. metafunction
