Resumo: The purpose of the text is to introduce the reader to the theoretical framework of systemic functional linguistics, by systematizing some of the key concepts and milestones in the development of this theory of grammatical description. After introducing some general aspects related to the nature of language and its the role in human life, the text explores the notion of language function and the way it contributes to the building up of the theory. The text continues with the description of the relationship between language and the linguistic system, claiming the importance of language use in any linguistic description and foregrounding text both as a unit of use and as a unit of description, that is, as an instantiation of the system and the sole means of shedding light to it in terms of descriptive knowledge. The text proceeds with the description of the relationship between text and context, putting forward the concepts of register and genre, and then describes the network of lexicogrammatical choices realizing the meaning potential of language. The text ends with a short systematization of the types/levels of analysis and the metalanguage used.

A partir de considerações gerais sobre a natureza da língua e o papel da linguagem na vida humana, o artigo começa por explorar a noção de funções da linguagem, para a partir daí explicitar como se erige este modelo de descrição gramatical. Assim, e depois de estabelecida a relação entre linguagem e sistema linguístico, afirma- se a importância do uso linguístico na descrição e constróise o texto quer como unidade de uso quer como unidade de descrição, isto é, como instanciação do sistema e única forma de a este chegarmos, em termos de conhecimento descritivo. O artigo prossegue depois com a descrição das relações de probabilidade entre o texto e o contexto, dando conta das noções de registo e de género, para de seguida descrever as redes de escolhas da lexicogramática que realizam o potencial semântico do sistema. O artigo termina com uma sistematização dos tipos/níveis de análise e da metalinguagem a eles associada.Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro2009-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionartigos de linguísticaartigos de linguísticaapplication/pdfhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/matraga/article/view/27795Matraga - Revista do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras da UERJ; v. 16 n. 24 (2009): Teorias Gramaticais ContemporâneasMATRAGA - Journal published by the Graduate Program in Letters at Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ); Vol. 16 No. 24 (2009): Contemporary Theories of Grammar2446-69051414-7165reponame:Matraga (Online)instname:Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ)instacron:UERJporhttps://www.e-publicacoes.uerj.br/matraga/article/view/27795/19916Gouveia, Carlos A.
