Rationale Over the years, functional approach has had a significant impact on the study of grammar. This theoretical approach tries to incorporate meaning, function, context, and grammatical categories. Funtionalism has been developed by many functional grammarians like Dik (1978), Halliday (1985, 1994), Bloor (1994), Eggins (1994), Thompson (1996), Lock (1997), Martin (1997), VanValin and LaPolla (1997), Matthiessen (2002), and many others.

Different functional theories have emerged, representing a great range of theoretical opinion, but the central theme of the functionalist theories is: functional motivation is an alternative to innateness. Linguistic theories which reject the syntactocentric or formal view and adopt the communication and cognition perspective include Functional Grammar (Dik, 1978, 1991), Systemic Functional Grammar (Halliday 1994), Role and Reference Grammar (RRG; VanValin and LaPolla 1997), Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG; Bresnan 2001), etc. Unlike the linguistic theory that is still the received tradition in school, functionalism takes the resource perspective rather than the rule perspective; and it is designed to display the overall system of grammar rather than only fragments. It wishes to be a theory which is 'functional' in at least three different, though interrelated senses: i.

It takes a functional view on the nature of language; ii. It attaches primary importance to functional relations at different levels in the organization of language; iii. It wishes to be practically applicable to the analysis of different aspects of language and language use. Functional theories can be described in three groups: extreme, moderate and conservative, all are common in basically a rejection of the syntactocentric view of formalists and a recognition of the importance of the communicative factors, cognitive factors or both in grammatical theory and analysis.

Among the three, systemic functional grammar (SFL) belongs to the moderate group. Systemic functional linguistics (SFL) is an approach to language developed mainly by M. Halliday in the UK and later in Australia. This approach has its origin in the main intellectual tradition of European linguistics that developed following the work of Saussure.

Its primary source was the work of J. Firth (1957) and his colleagues in London, who defines ―system‖ in systemic functional linguistics, as, in its technical sense, the ―theoretical representation of paradigmatic relations, contrasted 1 TIEU LUAN MOI download : skknchat@gmail.com with ―structure‖ for syntagmatic relations‖, and who characterizes systemic theory as the theory in which the system takes priority, the most abstract representation at any level is in paradigmatic terms. As well as other schools of thought in Europe such as glossemantics, this theory also draws on American anthropological linguistics, and on traditional and modern linguistics as developed in China. While American-style linguistics evolved in the modeling of the world‘s languages, SFL was developed to address the need of language teaching and learning.

A significant milestone in the development of this theory is when it was wholly developed in the work on the grammar of Chinese by Halliday (1956); and it has been used in educational and computational contexts from an early stage. With the primary goal of addressing the needs of language teaching / learning, systemic functional grammar (SFG), the theory of grammar in the light of SFL, lays an emphasis on the functions of language - what language is used for. Although SFG is a theory of grammar, it focuses more on the meaning, not the pure form of what is said like what formalists have long been doing. Since 1980, SFL has been expanded considerably in various directions; further studies have been devoted to languages other than English, notably Chinese, French, Indonesian, Japanese and some other Asian and African languages.

It has not been of much popular use in Vietnam studies of grammar.
