Language Functions

To end up this part of the subject devoted to the study of language usage, we are going to deal with Language Functions. They usually include fixed expressions, utterances or phrases ready-to-use to achieve a specific communicate purpose: expressing regret, making offers and invitations, asking permission, apologizing, guessing, showing preferences, greetings and so on. In order to introduce this topic, you can have a look at the Vocabulary and Functional Language handout (page 6) and Communicative English and Language Functions . In the presentation Language Functions in English, you can find many useful vocabulary and functional language examples. Finally, you can make some practice on Language Functions in exercise 1 and exercise 2 .
