Answer to Question #310052 in English for Okuhle

Question

The different grammatical aspects or structures of the English language interact with one another in a systematic and yet complex way to produce a meaningful linguistic system

Answer 1

Functional grammar, based on systemic linguistics, emphasizes the way spoken and written language operate in different social situations. In particular, it is very useful in showing how texts work beyond the level of the sentence, how different texts are structured, and how language varies to suit the purpose of the users. It takes on a descriptive approach and focuses on groups of words that function to make meanings.
