Les As. presentent ici une reponse a R. de Beaugrande (article dans ce meme numero) concernant les fondements theoriques et pratiques de la linguistique textuelle. Dans une perspective epistemologique, les As. discutent particulierement des consequences liees aux possibilites d'investigation qu'offrent les nouvelles technologies et la constitution...
This study deals with the linguistic study of texts as a way of understanding how language functions in its immensely varied range of social contexts. The authors adopt a functional approach to language, in which the different registers or functional varieties of a language are explained by reference to the different contexts in which they occur.

... Our study found that EFL students increasingly relied more on complex nominals than verb phrases in writing and their texts contained more phrasal modifications than subordination and clausal ones, which could be interpreted as signs of a more formal writing style. Furthermore, longer production units such as sentences and clauses (O'Donnell, 1974;Wu, Mauranen, & Lei, 2020) and the use of coordination which connects similar syntactic patterns to perform special functions (Halliday & Hasan, 2014) are also features of academic writing (Wu, Mauranen, & Lei, 2020). Our study found significant increase in length-based measures and coordination ones over the time frame, which could be indicative of an academic writing style. ...
... Discourse is often described in the theoretical literature as a unit of language larger than a single clause [2,3], forming a meaningful unit of language [4], and used for a specific purpose or function [5]. This characterization emphasizes the key role of spoken discourse in everyday interaction, for example talking about your day, describing a beautiful scene, or expressing your opinion about current affairs. ...
... These strata are also understood to be intersecting continua rather than distinct levels. Vocabulary (words/ lexis) and grammar for example, are not two distinct poles of the language system but they are part of a single continuum called lexicogrammar (Halliday & Hasan, 2000;Hasan, 1985Hasan, , 1987. In terms of the content plane, it is lexicogrammar and semantics that allows for an almost indefinite cognitive expansion and construing of reality (Halliday, 1984a;Halliday & Matthiessen, 1999). ...
... The authors emphasize the text-context relationship and/or explain the relationship between the language system and its context. The book adopts Halliday's (1994) approach arguing that the language system is a complex network of options that evolved to serve human needs and aspirations. It means that the context of our language usage influences the judgments we make about language systems. ...

... Genre analysis using systemic functional linguistics (SFL) is an empirical method of identifying and functionally labeling the structure of texts in different cultures and situations (Martin, 1992;Halliday & Hasan, 1985). It is commonly used for purposes of description, classification, teacher professional development, and/or the design of pedagogy and curriculum. ...
... According to Halliday (1990) that intended to refer the above mentioned double meaning words as closed kind of registers. It is because these vocabularies have even different kinds of meanings that could possibly fix to them in finite ways. ...
