Halliday，s Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and its appliability. The three non-Chinese authors are internationally leading systemicists and in the papers they have demonstrated how SFL as a general theory of language works in the educational field and in linguistic analyses of language. The Chinese authors on the other hand show us how they have used SFL in their linguistic studies in different research areas: Genre Studies, Functional Syntax, English Usage, Translation Studies, Stylistics and Narratology, and Code-switching Studies. Since all the Ch nese authors, except Professor Fang Yan, who is an eminent systemicist in Tsinghua University, P. R. China, are strongly connected with Sun Yat-sen (Zhongshan) University, here I would like to report some SFL activities/studies undertaken al this university. It has been over 10 years since the course “Introducing Systemic Functional Linguistics，，was offered to our MA students at the School of 2 Functional Linguistics, as Appliable Linguistics Foreign Languages, Sun Yat-sen University. During these years, more and more MA students take M.A.K. Halliday1 s Systemic Functional Linguistics as their research focus and conduct their postgraduate studies within the framework of SFL. The first group of PhD students came to study SFL at Sun Yat-sen University in 1998 and the year 2001 witnessed the first two graduates. Since 2001, there have been 17 students working on SFL who have received their PhD degrees from Sun Yat-sen University. These graduates are now playing very important roles in teaching, studying, promoting and applying SFL in different universities in China. In August 1999，the International Conference on “Discourse and Language Functions” was held at the School of Foreign Languages, Sun Yat-sen University. There were over 100 participants who came from more than 40 universities and colleges in America, Australia, Britain, Canada, Hong Kong, Macau and other Chinese cities. Plenary speakers (in alphabetical order) include: Robin FAWCETT (Cardiff University, UK), Peter FRIES (Central Michigan University, USA), M.A.K. HALLIDAY (The University of Sydney, Australia), Ruqaiya HASAN (Macquarie University, Australia), HU Zhuanglin (Peking University, China), Christian MATTHIESSEN (Macquarie University, Australia), and WANG Zongyan (Sun Yat-sen University, China). That was the very first international conference on linguistics ever hosted by the School of Foreign Languages, Sun Yat-sen University, and it was a major event in the academic history of the school. In terms of post-conference publications, the outcome of this conference was two collections of papers (i.e., Huang and Wang 2002, Huang 2002). In July 2002，we hosted the International Conference on “Discourse and Translation” at Sun Yat-sen University, and the focus was on the appliability of SFL to translation studies. Plenary speakers (in alphabetical order) include: Mona BAKER (UMIST, UK), Basil HATIM (The American University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates), HUANG Guowen (Sun Yat-sen University, China), LUO Xuanmin Functional Linguistics as Appliable Linguistics at Sun Yat-sen University 3 (Tsinghua University, China), Kirsten MALMKJeeR (Middlesex University, UK), Christina SCHaEFNER (Aston University, UK), TAN Zaixi (Hong Kong Baptist University, China), and ZHANG Meifang (Sun Yat-sen University, China). This endeavour was followed by another international conference on “Functional Linguistics and Translation Studies ”，organized by the Centre for Translation Studies and the School of Foreign Languages, Sun Yat-sen University, which was held on the Zhuhai Campus of the University in December 2006. Plenary speakers at this conference include Juliane HOUSE (Hamburg University, Germany), HUANG Guowen (Sun Yat-sen University, China), and ZHANG Meifang (University of Macau, China). The outcome of this conference was the collection of papers on functional linguistics and translation studies (Wang 2006). Also in December 2006，The Functional Linguistics Institute and the School of Foreign Languages, Sun Yat-sen University hosted the Symposium on “ Functional Linguistics and Discourse Analysis” and the theme was “Systemic Functional Linguistics as Appliable Linguistics”. Christian MATTHIESSEN (Macquarie University, Australia), WU Canzhong (Macquarie University, Australia), LIN Yunqing (Beijing Normal University, China), YANG Xinzhang (Xiamen University，China), YANG Bingjun (Southwest University, China), CHANG Chenguang (Sun Yat-sen University, China), LI Guoqing (Jinan University, China)，� WANG Yong (Central China Normal University, China), and HUANG Guowen (Sun Yat-sen University, China) were among the invited participants, and Christian MATTHIESSEN gave a keynote speech on “ Systemic Functional Linguistics — appliability: areas of research ”. After a brief review on the SFL activities/studies at Sun Yat-sen University, I now turn to the editing of this collection. The articles in this volume have been selected to reflect the appliability of SFL in a number of research areas. M.A.K. Halliday，s “Some factors affecting college-level English teaching in 21st century China，，was based on a keynote speech given at the International Forum on College English 4 Functional Linguistics, as Appliable Linguistics Textbooks hosted by Fudan University, China, in September 2005, and it was first published in a special issue (No. 2, 2006) on “Functional Linguistics and Applied Linguistics” of the journal of Educational Research on Foreign Languages and Arts (Guangdong Teachers College of Foreign Language and Arts) (see Huang 2006a，pp.11—27). J.R. Martin's "Grammar meets genre — reflections on the 'Sydney School;，，� first appeared in Arts (the Sydney University Arts Association; 22, 2000. pp. 47 -95) and was also included in the special issue on “Functional Linguistics and Applied Linguistics” (see Huang 2006a，pp. 28-54). FANG Yan's “Constructing a harmonious world�一 Linguistic studies on The Analects of Confucius” first appeared in a special issue on “Discourse Analysis” of The Journal of English Studies (Sichuan International Studies University) (see Huang 2006b, pp,43 -50). Both CHANG Chenguang's “Idiomatic expressions in English: a textual analysis” and WANG Jin's “Code-switching in newspaper discourse: with reference to the Chinese/English learned contact in the mainland of China，，were written especially for the present volume. Part One of R.P. Fawcett's "Establishing the grammar of 'typicity' in English: an exercise in scientific inquiry ” was first published in the special issue on “Functional Linguistics and Applied Linguistics，，of Educational Research on Foreign Languages and Arts (see Huang 2006a，pp.71 —91) and Part Two (Fawcett 2006) appeared in the following issue of the same journal (i.e., No. 3, pp.3-34). HUANG Guowen，s book review of Suzanne Eggins' (2004) “An Introduction to Systemic Functional Linguistics，，first appeared electronically in “LINGUIST List: Vol-16- 1590. May 18 2005. ISSN: 1068 — 4875 (Wed, 18 May 2005 21:41: 36)". As was mentioned earlier, the past six years have witnessed the graduation of 17 PhD students from Sun Yat-sen University whose degree theses are concerned with studies of Halliday's SFL and its appliability. These studies fall into a number of research areas: Genre Studies (YU Hui 2001, LI Guoqing 2002), Functional Syntax (ZENG Lei
