Abstract
Systemic functional linguistics (SFL) has been developing for more than 60 years since the publication of Halliday’s (1956) “Grammatical categories in modern Chinese” in Transactions of the Philosophical Society. The development of more than half a century has witnessed its constant development and greater width and depth in theory and application. It is always developing.
