As Thompson (1996: 28) summarizes, if we take a functional approach to language, we assume that language can be used "to talk about our experience of the world" and this "world" includes not just the world in reality but also "the worlds in our own minds", and language is also used "to describe events and states and the entities involved" in these "worlds". Apart from this, we communicate with people by using language, and in this respect the aim of communication may be "to establish and maintain relations with them, to influence their behaviour, to express our own viewpoint on things in the world, and to elicit or change theirs”. Besides, we can also use language to "organi z e our messages in ways which indicate how they fit in with the other messages around them and with the wider context in which we are talking or writing".

Language can be used to do many things. From a functional linguistics perspective, people use it to say things about objects, ideas, events, states, situations, and so on in our daily life. In daily interactions, language plays an important role in establishing and maintaining personal and interpersonal relationships, and the choice of language use can also influence people’s behaviour and their viewpoints on things and events around them. From the use of language we can see how daily messages are organized "in ways which indicate how they fit in with the other messages around them and with the wider context in which we are talking or writing" (Thompson 1996: 28).

As is believed by many people, people use language to talk about their experience of the world, including the worlds in their own minds, to describe events and states and the entities involved in them. They also use language to interact with other people, to establish and maintain relations with them, to influence their behaviour, to express their own viewpoint on things in the world, and to elicit or change theirs. Finally, in using language, they organi z e their messages in ways which indicate how they fit in with the other messages around them and with the wider context in which we are talking or writing.
