They use the same term "variation", but I wonder whether they refer to the same thing. How does SFL relate variation to identity? Could you suggest materials that make the distinction or any SFL study that addresses the relation of variation with identity? Thank you!
Dear Mohammad,
Thans for the answer. It is very helpful for me. Can I pursue this question further? That is, Is there possibility that when sociolinguistic variations follow a certain recognizable pattern ( for example, youth netizens deviate their language use), a genre variation in the SFL sense will result? To put the question another way, (How) could we relate sociolinguisitc variations to genre variaton in the SFL sense?
My second question (as you mention CDA too) is: Does SFL or James Martin talk about genre colonization as Bhathia does? We know Martin's and Bhathia's concepts of "genre" are not quite the same. (How) can I use SFL or Martin's genre to address genre colonization, such as advertorials?
Looking forwar to your answer.
Thank you!

Dear Mohammad，
Thanks for your patience in answering my questions. The detailed explanations are rather helpful to me. Actually, as I see it, genre colonization and genre appropriation are two sides of a coin. I am looking forward to reading your new papers. Kindly let me know when they come out.
best wishes,
Wenge
