On Translated Texts of Poem Fragment from the Perspective of Experiential Metafunction

Although Halliday's systemic functional linguistics has extensively been applied to the analysis of texts of different types, in the literature to date, there are few studies on the translation of poems within the Hallidayan framework. This paper is an attempt to study the modern poem Fragment by Bian Zhilin and its translated versions from the perspective of Experiential Metafunction in systemic functional linguistics. It is hoped that this study will provide a good insight into the translation studies and that the applicability of systemic functional linguistics to discourse analysis is well tested.
