O’Toole’s functional analysis (1994)

Three communicative functions of language which O’Toole draws from Halliday’s (1978):

Modal function: This is the way that the artist or sculptor has used devices to make the art relate to us, in other words the interpersonal function.

Representational function: This is the way that we examine what is represented. This is the ideational function or how ideas are conveyed.

Compositional function: Simply this is about arrangement of forms in the space such as ‘line and rhythm’ (p22). This is the function of coherence.

Each is approached at four levels: work, episode, figure and member.

Modal function: Rhythm, Gaze, Framing, Light, Perspective, and Modality (ARBITRARY!!)
