Detailed explanation-1: -Michael Halliday (2003:80) stated a set of seven initial functions, as follows: Regulatory, Interactional, Representational, Personal, Imaginative, Instrumental and Heuristic. The Regulatory Function of language is language used to influence the behavior of others.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hence, we can conclude that the Reflective function is not part of Halliday’s seven functions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Heuristic Function Once children have recognised the boundary between themselves and the environment, then they can start exploring what is around them. Halliday calls this the Heuristic function of language.
Detailed explanation-4: -The four basic functions of language are based on the goal of that communication: expressing observations, expressing thoughts, expressing feelings, and expressing needs.
