Halliday Flashcards
pls add. Language is a cultural code that teaches us how to be a part of society-not just a communication tool. He cares about why we use language not its rules. language is a system in which we make choices every time we communitcate. he says that shildren dont have grammar or words as we know them, only sounds and thier meanings. language starts before speech-grunts is language if used to communicate. language is used to get things done.
Who came up with the Functional Theory?
Halliday
What is the Functional Theory
Language develops because our needs (what you need language for) do.
- To satisfy needs and wants.
- To control others.
- To create interactions with others.
- To express personal thoughts and opinions.
- To create imaginary worlds.
- To seek information.
