Abstract

The present paper presents a comparative study of the main theoretical perspectives concerned with textual genre as disseminated internationally in the realm of Systemic Functional Linguistics. Results have shown that scholars do share a systemic-functional ground for their approaches, but at the same time, these same scholars tend to focus on different analytical parameters of textual genre, which we have named here: classical and typological. We have also found that Systemic Functional Linguistics is a theory open for constant innovation; such finding seems to be quite propitious when set in the interface of the transdisciplinary studies of Applied Linguistics.
