This paper describes work in progress on a corpus-based study, comparing seemingly similar registers in two languages: English and German newsgroup texts, collected in the Bremen Translation Corpus. Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG, Halliday 1994 [1985]) provides a theoretical framework for categorizing empirical findings. I will focus on three systems of the finite verbal group, i.e. tense, mo...

The goal of the analysis is to examine the function of the expressiveness of intonation from the viewpoint of three metafunctions of Systemic Grammar. One of the findings in this paper is that the Ideational metafunction in tone languages is functionally limited because of the pitch movement reserved for lexical distinction. In the Textual metafunction, especially for certain phenomena such as ...

This descriptive study focuses on the analysis of types figure speech cynicism used in text Srimad Bhagavatam and its translation into Indonesian. It is inspired by paradigm that a product. 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...

Discourse studies attempt to describe how context affects text, and how text progresses from one sentence to the next. Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) offers a model of language to describe how information flow varies according to context and co-text through the Textual metafunction, especially using the functions of Participant Identification and Tracking, Theme and Information Structure...

This paper describes a coding pattern, termed the C++ detection idiom, powered by the void_t metafunction recently accepted into the C++17 standard library. A fully-implemented toolkit of interfaces to this idiom is then presented and proposed for future standardization. Detection is, or ought to be, an exact science. . . . — SIR ARTHUR IGNATIUS CONAN DOYLE
