Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

As the most prominent part of discourse analysis,Critical Discourse Analysis(CDA) has its roots in the critical linguistics in 1970s.Systemic Functional Grammar(SFG) has been considered an important approach and theoretical basis to CDA and is widely used in the critical analysis of various types of discourse.Only through a further dialogue between these two different,but strongly linked approaches to language and its uses,can they have greater development.This paper starts from the three most important elements of SFG,combined with examples,to discuss its reason and application to perform as a tool of CDA.
