This paper applies the principles of systemic linguistic analysis （SLA） to a comparison of the style and communicative functionality of two short texts. The texts cover the same subject matter but differ in that they are aimed at two disparate audiences. The first text was taken from the Breaking News English （BNE） website; the second appeared on the BBC website. The employment of Michael Halliday’s systemic functional grammar （SFG） allowed for a deeper analysis of the language than other grammars could provide. While some of the findings were as expected, the analysis unearthed some significant differences in terms of textual, interpersonal and in particular, experiential meanings. The differences in the texts highlighted some of the elements necessary for the successful composition of a simulated authentic material.
