An Ecological Discourse Analysis of Wordsworths Nature Poetry from a Systemic Functional Linguistics Perspective -- Taking Daffodils as an Example
Abstract
this paper aims to carry out ecolinguistic analysis from the perspective of systemic functional linguistics, mainly focusing on three dimensions: transitivity analysis, agency and causality analysis, as well as grammatical metaphors. The goal is to reveal the poets ecological consciousness by analyzing the linguistic structure and function of the text. Through the use of non-human and materialistic process participants,
special grammatical features of dynamic verbs, and nominalized grammatical metaphors, the relationship between human beings and nature is
portrayed as one of harmonious coexistence and equal dialogue. The work manifests a positive ecological view of the unity of things and the
self, showing that systemic functional linguistics provides theoretical support for ecological discourse analysis.
