Inlinguistics,thefunctionsoflanguageingeneralcanbedividedintosevencategories:
informative,interpersonalfunction,performative,emotivefunction,phaticcommunion,recreationalfunction,metalingualfunction.Forpurposesoffinancialreports,thereisnodoubtthatitsmainfunctionisinformative.Comparingwithnormalnews,financialreportsaretimelier.Otherwiseitcannotreflecttherapidlychangingfinancialworldandpasstheinformation.So,theyhavemanycharactersinsyntax.Theyusemanylongsentenceswiththeloosestructure,andhavemanyinsertingcomponents.Theyoftenuseextendedsimplesentenceandomittherelativepronounsinthenounclauses.Financialreportshavemanyfiguresandcomparedstructures.
