DECIPHERING THE GENERIC STRUCTURE OF FRENCH EDITORIALS: A SYSTEMIC FUNCTIONAL LINGUISTICS APPROACH
Keywords:
Abstract
This study employs a systemic functional linguistics (SFL) approach to investigate the generic structure of French editorials. Editorials, as a genre of written discourse, serve a crucial function in conveying opinions, shaping public discourse, and influencing readers' perspectives. Through the lens of SFL, which emphasizes the interplay between language structure, social context, and communicative purpose, this research examines the linguistic features and organizational patterns that characterize French editorials. Drawing on a corpus of French editorials, the study identifies recurring textual structures, rhetorical strategies, and linguistic choices employed by writers to engage with readers, advance arguments, and assert authority. By uncovering the systemic patterns underlying editorial discourse, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the genre conventions and communicative strategies that underpin French editorial writing.
