摘　　要：伦敦学派的创始人弗斯在继承人类学家马林诺夫斯基的"情景语境"理论的基础上,创立了语言研究的"语境理论",后经韩礼德的整合与发扬形成了系统功能语言学。弗斯作为倡导从情景语境入手研究语言的先驱,突破形式主义语言学的桎梏,开功能主义语言学之先河,不仅成为系统功能语言学的理论奠基,也为语料库语言学、社会语言学、语用学等几个重要的研究领域提供了启示,其语言学遗产至今仍为这些领域的语言学家所珍视。J.R.Firth,the founder of London School in the history of British linguistics,applied Malinovsky’s theory of Context of Situation in the field of anthropology to the study of language and put context of situation as the highest level of meaning.Halliday then inherited it and set up the famous systemic functional linguistics.It was Firth who originally proposed to study language in terms of its function,which was completely opposed to the dominant formalist linguistics at that time.Firth’s linguistic legacy lies not only in its theoretical foundation for systemic functional linguistics but also in its inspiration for the development of corpus linguistics,social linguistics and pragmatics,which has long been treasured by linguists from these fields.
