Meaning is expressed through functions and manifests itself in
forms.
Definitions:
Function is the purpose for which a language utterance is used in
speech or writing.
Form is the means by which a language utterance is used in
speech or writing.
“Any individual sentence can be used to perform virtually any
function in the language and consequently any function may take
a variety of forms.” (David Wilkins)
Language teaching which practices linguistic items in
meaningless situations is literally meaning-less. CLT, as opposed
to traditional language teaching, is bound to be context-rich.
