Interpret Proverbs, From The Perspective Of System Functions

System function theory says that syntax is not an independent entity, but rather closely related with the semantic and pragmatic. So it focuses on the study of language function and performance, clarifying the relationship between form and function, explaining how language function determine the structure of language, and studying some of the specific language phenomena in the spoken word or in writing chapters. The characteristics that Chinese does not depend on the morphological changes in the strict sense, but by means of word order, structural words and other grammatical means expressing grammatical relations and grammatical meaning and the fine traditions that that academics are attention to the factors of language features, make the application of the system function syntax in the study of Chinese broader and deeper.Proverbs is an important part of traditional culture, and is also a special Chinese language component. Proverbs are the summary of people's lives and experiences, is the crystallization of human wisdom, and has a particular cultural color. Proverbs is artistic statements with concise language, wealth meanings and harmony form, is a kind of lexical unit, and is widely used in spoken and written language. Using the systemic functional theory in the analysis of the Chinese proverbs, we can explain from the point of function why it is widely used in life, how the functions of Chinese proverbs is reflected in the structure of language, what kind of contact role it plays in spoken or chapter and between sentence and sentence.As a special type of language, proverbs have three functions:with the general language:the conception function, interpersonal function and textual function. But expressing these functions, the proverb also has its own particularities in the following three aspects:First, in the concept function, there are few proverbs that saying the process of speech. There are no proverbs with the form of a direct quotation; it can be said that metaphorical proverbs in the form of indirect quotation reflect the function of the process of speech. Proverbs with the form of indirect quotation, but not metaphorical proverbs, do not reflect this function. Second, in the interpersonal function, there are unique in the systems of mood and tone. The indicative mood is the mainly mood of proverbs in itself; there is no choice interrogative mood that exits in the general form of Chinese; the interrogative mood is mostly ask interrogative mood and is rarely especially question interrogative mood; there is no imperative mood expressing commands and requisitions.. The tones of Chinese Proverbs show musical mainly because the voice stress on Proverbs rhyme and ze, and use alliteration and rhyme stacks. Third, in the textural function, the proverb has its particularity on the thematic structure and cohesion. Chinese proverb on the body, the individual thematic chapters in the sense that said the significance theme and interpersonal theme is almost none. Theme items are much rarer. The most common theme is the topic theme saying the concept ingredients. Proverbs through a certain convergence way, do not only achieve short and pithy, concise and comprehensive features, but also showing the harmonious and morphological features of aesthetic on the symmetry. The source, nature and semantics of the Chinese proverb are closely related to the specificity of it, and also affect the function of Chinese proverbs and the expressions of these functions.
