The also analyses grammatical packaging using language metafunction, namely, textual metafunction. sentences containing cynicism, as metafunction implies, are analysed from viewpoint Theme Rheme (clause mess...

The paper deals with the discussions of a sentence as complete structural unit and its two levels in modern linguistics on basis opinions different linguists. sentence  description are; syntactic semantic-syntactic structures. And modality are major features that combined other characteristics sentence. correlation between them is based predicative. Modality defined category which expresse...

This study examines Thematic Development types based on the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics that are used by tertiary students. It aims to find out how students produce effectively and efficiently their report texts. The data were all clauses taken from fifteen students’ text divided into three levels: high, middle, low achievement. findings showed there patterns in text, they Them...

This study was conducted with the purpose to identify effectiveness of Systemic Functional Linguistic approach improve writing skills for EFL students at a university in Hanoi, Viet Nam. The preliminary investigation showed that most this experienced many difficulties English and they were not motivated lessons. To make situation better, an action research plan use quantitative qualitative meth...

In this paper, I propose an analysis of Persian complex predicates, based on the First Phase Verbal syntax developed by Ramchand (2008). I suggest that the light verbs lexicalize the subevent heads into which the verbal phrase is decomposed, while the preverbal element occupies the Rheme position and semantically unifies with the light verb to build one joint predication. Further, I propose a f...

For many linguists interested in pragmatics, including the Prague School theorists, Halliday (1967), and Vallduví (1992,1993), information structure is a sentence-level structure. It is generally characterized as a variation of sentential structure along certain parameters to modulate the presentation of the information imparted by the sentence in such a way as to relate that information to pri...

Rules for assigning phrasal intonation to sentences are often assumed to require an autonomous level of "intonational structure", distinct from what is usually thought of as surface syntactic structure. The present paper argues that the requisite notion of structure can be subsumed under the generalised notion of surface structure that emerges from the combinatory extension of Categorial Gramma...

The structure imposed upon spoken sentences by intonation seems frequently to be orthogonal to their traditional surface-syntactic structure. However, the notion of "intonational structure" as formulated by Pierrehumbert, Selkirk, and others, can be subsumed under a rather different notion of syntactic surface structure that emerges from a theory of grammar based on a "Combinatory" extension to...

Prosody and intonation convey important distinctions of “Information Structure”, marking portions of the utterance as standing in relations to the surrounding discourse such as “theme” and “rheme”, and marking relations of contrast between referring expressions and potential reference sets. The use of default intonation contours in standard “text-to-speech” applications can be quite successful,...
