l  variation  accompanying  them”(ibid:326).  All above lay a solid foundation for the establishment of Halliday’s GM theory. Actually, there did are some researchers before Halliday who perceived that there is  something  like  GM.  And  related  studies  on  GM  started  to  catch  researchers’ attention  in  the  1980s.  The  publishment  of  his  book  The  Grammatical  Metaphor:  A Survey of Its Use in the Middle Agesis known as the first article about GM, in which he  stated  that  “the  history  of  GM  in  the  west  began  in  ancient  Greece,  with  the naming  of  the  rules  that  given  human  speech,  and  continues  up  to  the  present day”(1982:730), makingthe term of GM known in the study area. Thus, we areoffered with  a  new  insight  to  study  metaphor  and  made.  However,  it  is  far  from  enough  to make GM a systematic theory. Ravelli (1988）is one of Halliday’s earliest followers who paraphrases that “two different  grammatical  categories  may  realize  largely  the  same  thing” (Ravelli,1988:5).As  far  as  she  is  concerned,  the  same  grammatical  metaphor  may  be used  in  different  grammatical  categories.  However,  there  is  no  essential  difference between  hers  and  Halliday’s  ideabecause  she  just  expresses  the  similar  thing  from  a different perspective.
