What Fawcett Finds Most Striking About Halliday (1993)

Fawcett (2010: 79):
From this viewpoint, what is most striking about "Systemic theory" is that the ideas that Halliday chooses to present as the "basic concepts" of the theory are precisely the ones that are central to the concerns of the theoretical-generative strand of work in SFL (as we shall see in the next section).

To be clear, what Fawcett finds "most striking" here is the fact that, in an Encyclopædia article titled 'Systemic Theory', Halliday outlined the basic concepts that constitute the architecture of Systemic Theory (rather than, say, a description of a language or an analysis of text).
