歧义的元功能分析

本文指出了从形式角度研究歧义的局限性，提出从语言元功能的角度进行研究的必要性。首次把歧义明确划分为表意功能歧义、人际功能歧义和语篇功能歧义，并把研究推向话语层，以进一步考察语言功能和歧义之间更为广泛的歧义。

Metafunctional Approach of Ambiguity

In order to uncover a more general ambiguity between function and meaning in communication, this paper ventures to discuss ambiguity from a functional approach after the discussion of the shortcomings of its structural approach. With the application of Halliday's Systemic - Functional grammar, it classifies ambiguity into ideational functional ambiguity, interpersonal functional ambiguity and textual functional ambiguity, which will play an active role in corresponding linguistic activities, such as teaching and translating.
