摘要：This article aims to analyze how language is used to represent women in two biblical letters of the New Testament from the standpoint of the Systemic Functional Grammar, by Halliday and Matthiessen (2004). Therefore, we used categories that realize the three language metafunctions. From the ideational experiential metafunction we used the transitivity system; from the interpersonal metafunction we focused on the MODE system and polarity; and from the textual metafunction we concentrated on the thematic structure. The whole analysis of these categories showed that the choice of the Ideational Theme conjugated to the speech function toward women and the lexicogrammar functions of Actor, Senser and Carrier performed by this participant represent women primarily as submissive to men, husband, society and the laws and rules that govern it.
