This study is aimed to investigate the interpersonal meaning in students’ explanation texts. Six texts taken from students’ writings were used as the instruments of text analysis. The theories of Systemic Functional Linguistics and explanation text were used as the framework of the text analysis. The findings show that students have employed mood types which are formed by the Subject and Finite as Mood element and predicator and complement as Residue. The arrangement of Subject and Finite in the clauses demonstrates that declarative mood is used dominantly in the texts to realize the speech function of a statement. It suggests that the students have attempted to provide the information to the readers which are relevant to the social function of the explanation text. Moreover, the little use of modality in students’ texts indicates that the students present factual information. This evidence has shown the students’ efforts to position themselves in the texts and to build relationships with the readers. In conclusion, students have been able to create an effective explanation text which is intended to inform how something is done.

Today, studying tourism discourse has become widespread among scholars in the field of text analysis. However, few, if any, studies which have addressed the language of tourism have examined the verbal content of travel brochures from the point of view of the appraisal model. The major questions addressed in this study pertain to Graduation strategies as part of appraisal strategies in the discourse of tourism as well as the lexico-grammatical resources for the coding of these strategies in texts. The dataset comprised 50 e-brochures released by tour operators across the United States within the period 2012 to 2013. First, the data were examined quantitatively to identify the statistical variations in utilizing Graduation strategies in tourist brochures. The preferences for lexico-grammatical resources for the construal of these strategies were also illustrated in light of a qualitative analysis. The results of the study revealed that the discourse of travel brochures is loaded with Graduation strategies. The subsystems within the system of Graduation were shown to serve as strong tools in promoting various aspects of tourist destinations such as the number and distribution of tourist sites over an area.

AbstractThis paper is concerned with research on healthcare communication that draws on Halliday's systemic functional linguistics (SFL). Section 1 introduces Halliday's notion of appliable linguistics, with SFL as a particular manifestation. Section 2 deals with instances of healthcare communication in the form of medical consultations, and shows how they can be illuminated through SF text analysis. Section 3 relates medical consultations to institutions of healthcare along two dimensions, stratification and instantiation; and it suggests that institutions can be analyzed as aggregates of situation types. Section 4 considers the field of activity within healthcare contexts, suggesting how texts in situation types characterized by different fields complement one another. Section 5 adds tenor considerations in the form of the institutional healthcare roles across fields. Section 6 explores patient journeys through hospitals as sequences of situation types. Section 7 asks how risks and failures inherent in patient journeys can be interpreted, and then analyzed and addressed, in terms of the orders of systems in a hospital. Section 8 continues this systemic analysis, applying them to patients, and Section 9 extends the analysis to healthcare systems, as semo-technical systems. Section 10 shows how relationship-centered healthcare can be interpreted in terms of SFL.

Functional Linguistics

Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) refers to some kind of text analysis, including an analysis of literary language. Some research has verified the study of the literary text using this linguistic apparatus; however the use of SFL in literary text analysis is relatively rare. Therefore, this study investigated the contributions of SFL to literary text analysis. The data of the study were 20 scientific articles focusing on literary text analysis using SFL. The analysis used content analysis to expose the segments of the story analyzed and the components of SFL to analyze them. The findings showed that the method of analysis using SFL on the literary text has brought new perspectives to the researchers, and provided some possible future studies in literary works. Moreover, the study of literary texts is regarded not merely as interpretative practices but as explanatory categories for each segment of a literary text.

The Subject

the subject of this research is formation and development of social education in Russia in the late XIX – early XX century in its moral and spiritual aspects. Social and pedagogical experiments in that period were merged with the process of origin and formation of social education. Search of the cultural axis of the professions aimed at the social help and support of the population became the feature of this process in Russia. The answer was found in an appeal to the theological aspects of social education. The methodological basis of the study is the concept of cultural and moral continuity and continuity of social education, as well as recognition of not only the social but also the spiritual value of social assistance. Research methods are complex: this is a comparative historical study, text analysis, stratification analysis and study of subcultures, a modeling method. The main research problem is the analysis of the correlation of standardization and formalization of social education and its spiritual and moral essence, the problem of motivating the activities of specialists in the social sphere and the threat of its emasculation. The findings of this study are important for meaningful formation of the modern social formation and determination of its spiritual and moral foundations.

The present article contemplates two complementary dimensions, namely: (i) Audiovisual Translation Studies; and (ii) Linguistic studies giving direct attention to the language of subtitling to put forward a theoretical basis for studies focusing on The Language of Subtitles. Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) provides theoretical tools to allow for a language-based understanding of the meaning making resources of subtitling on the basis of text analysis. It is argued that this complementarity allows for fruitful comparison and contrast of texts in a translational relationship in that it provides categories for describing similarities and differences emerging from investigations of the choices made in spoken texts translated into written language in subtitles. Investigations carried out along these lines may lead to insights in terms of the construals existent in source and target texts in order to understand the choices made in the realization of the texts.

ResumoA escola, enquanto espaço de formação, tem como função social transmitir o saber sistematizado e fornecer acesso para as mais distintas áreas do conhecimento, entre essas a Educação Fìsica, a qual tem como objeto de estudo o corpo em movimento e possui uma função social a cumprir em toda a Educação Básica, inclusive, as práticas esportivas presentes nas aulas. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo é compreender como a prática esportiva inclusiva, na escola, pode contribuir para a vida social do aluno, por meio de uma revisão integrativa de artigos publicados de 2010 a 2020 nas bases de dados: Lilacs, SciELO, DOAJ e Dialnet através das combinações dos descritores exatos e sinônimos, em português e em inglês, pelos termos: “esportes”, “inclusão” e “escola”. A busca resultou em uma amostra final de dez artigos e permitiu observar que há um consenso entre os autores de que a prática esportiva contribui, significativamente, com a inclusão dos alunos no meio social, já que ocorrem interações que podem ser levadas ao contexto comunitário, porém, ainda assim, existem autores que não acreditam que isso aconteça, além de poucos estudos que tratem da temática “inclusão”, portanto, digna de ser amplamente explorada. Como contribuições, o estudo sugere que pesquisas futuras possam partir para o campo da mensuração para complementar as conclusões qualitativas, além disso, pode servir como reflexão para os estudiosos encontrarem caminhos que ampliem o conhecimento acerca do assunto. Palavras-chave: Esportes. Inclusão. Escola. AbstractThe school as a training space has the social function of transmitting systematized knowledge and providing access to the most different areas of knowledge, among them Physical Education, which has the body in motion as its object of study and has a social function to fulfill throughout basic education, including sports practices present in classes. Thus, the aim of this study is to understand how inclusive sports practice at school can contribute to the student's social life through an integrative review of articles published from 2010 to 2020 in the Lilacs, SciELO, DOAJ and Dialnet databases through combinations of the exact and synonymous descriptors in Portuguese and in English by the terms “sports”, “inclusion” and “school”. The search resulted in a final sample of 10 articles and allowed us to observe that there is a consensus among the authors that sports practice contributes significantly to the students’ inclusion in the social environment, since that interactions occur that can be taken to the community context, even though, there are authors who do not believe this happens, in addition to the few studies that deal with the theme “inclusion”, therefore, worthy of being widely explored. As contributions, the study suggests that future research may move into the field of measurement to complement qualitative conclusions, in addition, it can serve as a reflection for the students to find ways that expand knowledge on the subject. Keywords: Sports. Inclusion. School.

In recent years, campus slang has gradually gained the concerns of the scholars. Campus slang, as one language form on campus, has always been the subject of semantics, pragmatics and systemic-functional linguistics. The domestic and foreign scholars mostly focused on the description and explanation of the characteristics, development tendency and pragmatic effects of campus slang, but few has been done in the field of its characteristics from the perspective of semiotics. Considering the shortage of the previous studies on campus slang, attempts are made to use specific examples of campus slang as samples to complete the research system of campus slang by giving a broader view and re-interpreting the phenomenon of campus slang from the perspective of semiotics.
