Hi there,
This is the 50th article in this series! Pretty interesting to see how fast the days have gone by.
I’m struggling to grasp the concept of transitivity in Halliday’s Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG). The thing is that I know all that it comprises; processes, participants, and circumstances. I understand it in theory, yet can’t explain it. I can’t even figure out the point of transitivity in an analysis. What is more, this lack of understanding applies to all the other systems and the metafunctions under which they operate.
This will be totally fine if I did not have an exam on SFG tomorrow. I’m also pretty sure that there will be a question on transitivity. Let’s just say that a miracle needs to happen in my brain today.
The time is 12:11 pm. I want to raid the Internet to find a resource that will help me. Can I come back here to tell you all about it? Yes? OMG, thanks for being kind enough to want to listen… ?
BRB.
It’s 5:43 pm on Wednesday ????. I did not come back yesterday because I was doing some intense reading.
On the plus side, some miracle did happen in my brain! I am very pleased with my exam today. I’ll give some feedback about my grade.
Systemic Functional Grammar needs to be discussed by me, though! So, I’m committing to writing a comprehensive series of articles on SFG very soon.
These are 500 words (or less?)! Talk to you tomorrow!
