Abstract

Since the past 10 years, the theory of semantic waves has further progressed. This theory is deeply rooted in the theory of knowledge structures, legitimation code theory, and systemic functional linguistics. In addition, the theory can also be applied in discourse analysis, language learning, language teaching, and many other fields.
