Note examples of Halliday’s seven functions of language (some may be present and others may not):

Instrumental function: Language that is used to fulfil a need.
Regulatory function: Language that is used to influence the behaviour of others.
Interactional function: Language that is used to develop relationships and ease interaction.
Personal function: Language that expresses personal opinions, attitudes and feelings.
Representational/Informative function: Language that is used to relay or request information.
Heuristic function: Language that is used to explore, learn and discover.
Imaginative function: The use of language to tell stories and create imaginary constructs.

3) What is the language being used for, who is using it, and do you recognise an audience? If so, how?
