Welcome

Welcome to the website of the Systemic Functional Research Community on Interpersonal and Ideational Grammar.

The aim of the Research Community, which is funded by the Fund for Scientific Research - Flanders (Belgium) (Scientific Research Network WO.018.00N), is to reflect on and develop the theoretical foundations and the descriptive elaboration of the ideational and interpersonal component in systemic functional grammar. The research community is engaged in fundamental reflection about the semiotic foundations of language and of linguistic categories. It is concerned with methodology and descriptive heuristics which can be applied to corpus research, to interrogate the paradigmatic and the syntagmatic axis of the language system. It also works on the concrete descriptive elaboration of the ideational and interpersonal component on the level of nominal group, clause and text.
