Possible Applications of SFL

Source: Introduction to Functional Grammar by M.A.K. Halliday

  1. Theoretical concerns; to understand the nature and functions of language.
  2. Historical concerns; to understand how languages evolve over time.
  3. Developmental concerns; to understand how a child develops language, and how language may have evolved in the human species.
  4. Educational concerns; to help people learn their mother tongue, foreign language, etc.

This list is still open-ended, which means that it can develop interdisciplinary.
