THE ARCHITECTURE OF LANGUAGE
Text and Grammar
The term ‘text’ refers to any instance of language, in any medium, that makes sense to someone who knows the language. To a grammarian, text is a rich, many-faceted phenomenon that ‘means’ in many different ways
graphological
every writing system is related to the sound system of its language in a systematic language to which both the sound system and the writing system are related
Phonology and grammar
Prosodic features are associated with larger segments; are characteristics of in this section we give an outline of the prosodic region of the phonology of the story, the syllable of time are other syllables out of time that are rhythmically.
Syllables and phonemes
On the other hand, the English writing system is made up of letters, and the letters represent smaller units of sound called phonemes, individual consonants and vowels are out, because the criteria for identifying phonemes in English are internally contradictory, which they are one and the same phoneme from one point of view.
Structure
Basic concepts for the study of language
an overview of the language that will allow us in its entirety, so that everything that is said about an aspect is always understood. At the same time, of course, what is said about any aspect also contributes to the overall picture; but in that sense perspective is also important; one is that languages evolve are not designed, and systems thinking evolved by which we seek to understand the nature and dynamics of a semiotic system
In the writing system, a word consists of a whole number of letters, a sub-sentence of a whole number of words, a sentence of a. integer number of sub-phrases; the number can be more than one or just one. Such is the grammar, we find that the structure of each unit is an organic configuration so that each part has a distinctive function with respect to the whole; and that some units can be formed by functional configurations; but they maintain the grammatical principle that units of different rank
System
Systems theory gets its name from the fact that the grammar of a language is represented in the form of networks of systems, not as an inventory of structures. Structure is an essential part of the description; but it is interpreted as the external form that systemic choices take, not as the defining characteristic of language. How the system and structure go together can be illustrated by showing a simplified version of the system network.
The main clause is either the indicative one is declarative or interrogative (still in MOOD); if it is declarative, the. An interrogative clause is of type yes / no or type WH; if you write yes / no, the Finite comes before the Subject; if it is of type WH, it has a Wh. What this means is that each system, each moment of choice, contributes to the "moments" that are analytical steps in the grammatical interpretation of meaning (for the relation. Structure; and we show what significant choices have been made.
Metafunction
means purpose or way of using the language, that is, the entire architecture of the language is organized according to functional lines.
