ABSTRACT

Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) is an applicable linguistic theory. This paper will use this theoretical framework to make a comparative analysis of the interpersonal meaning embodied in seven Chinese and seven English drug instructions, so as to summarize the respective characteristics of interpersonal function in Chinese and English drug instructions. The research shows that there are similarities and differences in the choice of subject and clause types between Chinese and English instructions. And the results of this paper aim to have more localized instructions for imported or exported drugs, so that patients and medical staff can understand and apply the instructions more correctly and benefit for patients.
