A General Model That Applies To All Systemic Functional Grammars

Fawcett (2010: 41):
At this point I must make it clear that Halliday sometimes writes in a way that implies a substantial change to the model represented in Figure 4, and the effects of this will be explored in Sections 4.6 and 4.7 of Chapter 4. I shall nonetheless argue there that Figure 4 does indeed represent a general model that applies to all systemic functional grammars.

This continues the discussion of Figure 4:



[1] This is misleading.  The model represented in Figure 4 is entirely inconsistent with Halliday's model, as demonstrated in previous posts.

[2] This cannot be true, since the model represented in Figure 4 is internally inconsistent across both dimensions, stratification and instantiation, as demonstrated in previous posts, such as On 'The Main Components Of A Systemic Functional Grammar'.
