摘　　要：This study attempts to show whether advertisement texts engender similarities in interpersonal metafunctions across two languages, here specifically English and Chinese. Furthermore, inasmuch as the Hallidayan notion of Theme has been conceived with the English language in mind, this study has stretched the application of Theme to a language, which shows some grammatical dissimilarity with English.
