From the 1990s, the multimodal turn in discourse studies makes multimodal discourse analysis a popular topic in linguistics and communication studies. An important approach to applying Systemic Functional Linguistics to non-verbal modes is Visual Grammar initially proposed by Kress and van Leeuwen (1996). Considering that commercial advertisement is an indispensable part of the modern society t...

This paper describes a method for estimating conditional probability distributions over the parses of uniication-basedd grammars which can utilize auxiliary distributions that are estimated by other means. We show how this can be used to incorporate information about lexical selectional preferences gathered from other sources into Stochastic Uniication-basedd Grammars (SUBGs). While we apply th...

This paper describes a system in PROLOG for the automatic transforination of a grammar, written in LFG formalism, into a DCG-based parser. It demonstrates the main principles of the transformation, the representation of f-structures and constraints, the treatment of long-distance dependencies, and left rccursion. Finally some problem areas of the system and possibilities for overcoming them are...

It applied Halliday Systemic Functional Grammar identify analyze the occurrences processes poetry. Gerrot Wignell (2008:6) explain that theory grammar is needed know text working. By using theory, reader will understand clearly. One way...

In this paper, I address the categorial status of quantifiers and similar expressions in German. Traditionally, they are assigned either of two classes: determiners and adjectives. I argue that German quantifiers in principle are ambiguous and can be realized alternatively as determiners or adjectives. The categorial status is mirrored by the declension of attributive adjectives following these...

in the present article the frequency and percentage distribution of different verb tenses have been analyzed in books of 1, 2 and 3 of masnavi. the hypothesis is that it is possible to identify the degree of realism, narrative stylistic and some aspects of grammatical voice by using the feature of tense. the theoretical framework is based on systematic functional grammar and traditional grammar...

This paper describes two algorithms which construct two different types of generators for lexical functional grammars (LFGs). The first type generates sentences from functional structures and the second from semantic structures. The latter works on the basis of extended LFGs, which contain a mapping from f-structures into semantic structures. Both algorithms can be used on all grammars within t...

The critical study of political discourse has up until very recently rested solely within the domain of the social sciences. Working within a linguistics framework, Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), in particular Fairclough (Fairclough 1989, 1995a, 1995b, 2001; Fairclough and Wodak 1997), has been heavily influenced by Foucault. 2 The linguistic theory that CDA and critical linguistics especia...
