RegisterTheory*语域理论是系统功能语法的重要理论之一,源于“英国的语境主义”;Register这个概念最初是由Raid在1956年研究双语现象时提出来的;英籍波兰人人类学家Malinowski在20世纪提出了两个重要的概念:“情景语境”(contextofsituation)和文化语境(contextofculture);Firth将语境概念发展为“语义存在于语境”的理论;20世纪60年代,Halliday继承并发展了Firth的理论。* definitionofregister Languagevariesaccordingtothesituationinwhichitisused,andthesevarietiesoflanguagecanbereferredasregisters.
