A Systemic Approach to the Study of the Clause as Exchange in Information Questions in English And Arabic

Abstract

SFG (Systemic Functional Grammar) provides a framework within which the grammar of any natural language can be described. Hudson (1970: 1) argues that SFG defines the overall structures that grammars must have by defining the kinds of categories that must appear in them and the way in which they are related to each other in the grammar.
