One of the areas which is of great importance for applied linguists is discourse analysis, analyzing the use of language in different contexts. According to Halliday (1994), the aim of Functional Grammar has been to construct a grammar for the purpose of text analysis. This thesis is a comparative study of Textual and Ideational Metafunctions in Applied Linguistics research articles written by native and non native speakers of English. First, sixty articles were chosen from three subfields of Applied Linguistics, namely, Forensic Linguistics (20 articles), Discourse Analysis (20 articles) and Psycholinguistics (20 articles). Then the use of Theme Types in Textual Metafunction and Process Types in Ideational Metafunction were analyzed according to Halliday and Matthiessens (2004) Metafunctions framework. The results showed that both native and non native English Applied Linguistics articles tend to use the same number of Theme Types and Process Types. However, it was also found that the pattern of the distribution of Textual and Ideational Metafunctions were different in the three fields of the study between native and non-native researchers. Unmarked and multiple themes were the most frequently used Theme Types and material and relational processes were the most favored Process Types in the three fields. The findings of this study may enlighten students, suggesting that learning Metafunctions of language and applying them in an effective way can help reach higher levels of proficiency in language and language studies. In designing syllabi, teachers can benefit from the implications of Functional Grammar. The writers and researchers could benefit from the textual and ideational Metafunctions to produce more cohesive and coherent pieces of writing, to convey their message and to report their studies in an effective manner.
