總結:Grammatical Metaphor plays an important role in The Functional Grammar. This thesis aims at investigating this linguistic phenomenon in the collection Complete Ghost Stories by Charles Dickens. The study is carried out based on the theories of grammatical metaphor under the light of Functional Grammar and a combination of a variety of methods such as descriptive and analytic.
