    Uploaded by

    Traditional grammar focuses on prescriptive rules about language structure taught in schools, emphasizing smaller linguistic units like words and sentences. In contrast, functional grammar developed in 1985 by Halliday focuses on how language functions in social contexts. It views texts holistically and prioritizes spoken language and meaning over written forms and rules. While traditional grammar is explanatory, functional grammar takes an observational approach to describe native speaker usage.

    and concepts about the structure of
    language that is commonly taught in

    FUNCTIONAL
    ItGRAMMAR
    is concerned with the
    meaningful arrangement of the
    basic word-building units
    (morphemes) and sentence-
    building units (constituents) can
    best be described. It gives priority
    to function.

    Ex : People tend to say "Who are you going


    with?" even though that is incorrect and the
    correct form would be "With whom are you
    going?"

    and functional grammar is more
    concerned with units of meaning and
    typically groups words into units of
    contextual meaning.
