Research on Text Analysis Methods within the Functional Linguistics Framework
Journal: Region - Educational Research and Reviews DOI: 10.32629/rerr.v7i10.4827
Abstract
Based on functional linguistics theory, this paper systematically explores a methodological system for text analysis. It first outlines the core theoretical framework of functional linguistics, including Halliday's Systemic Functional Grammar and its three metafunctions theory. Then, it constructs a text analysis process based on functional linguistics, encompassing text selection, metafunction identification, corpus annotation, and data analysis. Finally, it verifies the effectiveness of this methodological system through a specific case study. The research indicates that the functional linguistics framework can provide a multidimensional and in-depth interpretive perspective for text analysis, revealing the latent meanings and social functions of texts.
