Michael Alexander Kirkwood Halliday was a British linguist who developed the systemic functional linguistics (SFL) model of language. He saw language as a semiotic system for meaning exchange and defined linguistics as the study of how people communicate meanings through language. Halliday explored language from multiple viewpoints, particularly focusing on its social dimensions. His work transformed traditional grammar by highlighting how meanings are encoded in spoken and written texts, across various language varieties and registers.
