It has become an effective entry and way to cultivate students to understand English language thinking and make communication. Based on the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics, this paper attempts to explore college English discourse analysis with a focus on language ontology and semantics as the mainline to illustrate the semantics as well as its cultural connotation in English discourse, aiming to provide a different perspective and way for college English teaching and shed some light on the cultivation of critical thinking.
