Ledin和Machin（2018）讨论了系统理论中“文本”和“上下文”概念的感知问题，并提出了处理多模态通信的“重要性”的方法。对SF方法的关注是及时的，因为系统功能理论和围绕它建立的多模态形式是“非常鼓舞人心的”，并且已经“改变了视觉传达分析的景观”（Ledin & Machin，2018）。除此之外，系统功能理论为多模态的主要理论，方法和分析趋势提供了基础（Tan，O'Halloran，& Wignell，2019）。通过合作，这些和其他研究工作（包括CDS中的研究工作）可能会导致多模态学科的建立（O'Halloran等人，2019年）。在这种情况下，Ledin和Machin（2018）的担忧是可以理解的，因为多模态的研究轨迹预计系统理论将继续发挥重要作用，原因在此回应中提供。在解决Ledin和Machin（2018）的问题之前，我们澄清了一些术语问题。
Ledin and Machin (2018) discuss perceived problems with the notions of ‘text’ and ‘context’ in systemic theory and suggest ways to deal with the ‘materiality’ of multimodal communication. The focus on SF approaches to multimodality is timely, given that systemic functional theory and the forms of multimodality built around it are ‘hugely inspiring’ and have ‘transformed the landscape of visual communication analysis’ (Ledin & Machin, 2018). Beyond this, systemic functional theory provides the foundations for major theoretical, methodological and analytical trends in multimodality (Tan, O’Halloran, & Wignell, 2019). It is possible that these and other research efforts (including those in CDS) might, through collaboration, lead to the establishment of the discipline of multimodality (O’Halloran et al., 2019). In this context, Ledin and Machin’s (2018) concerns are understandable, given the research trajectory of multimodality where systemic theory is expected to continue to play a major role for the reasons provided in this response. Before addressing Ledin and Machin’s (2018) concerns, we clarify some issues of terminology.
