What is a text? To a layman, a text may be just a text or it may be “I’ve got no idea”. To the people in the linguistics circle who are not concerned with language as social semiotic, a text may be a rather fuzzy and abstract term, or it may mean “a body of printed or written work” as defined by the Collins English Dictionary (1990).

What we re supposed to do is to use and teach language correctly and appropriately and nothing else.

With these difficulties in mind in this paper an attempt is made to explore the grammar and meaning of a science fiction story as a text. The procedures and conventions used in the analysis are based on the framework of Halliday s 1994 An Introduction to Functional Grammar Halliday and Hasan s 1985 Language Text and Context Aspect of Language in Social-Semiotic Perspective Hasan s 1984 Coherence and Cohesive and Butt s 1984 The Theme and Lexico-Grammar in the Poetry of Wallace.
