Fawcett (2010: 245):
We saw in Section 9.2.3 of Chapter 9 that the Sydney Grammar, according to the theoretical statements in each of the three summaries of its theory, uses two operations to accomplish the placing of an element in the structure of its unit, i.e., "Insert" and "Order". However, it seems from "Systemic theory" (p. 4505) that the "Order" operation may now have been extended to include "Order an element to some defined location", and this may signal the use of the concept of 'place', as originally introduced to SFL in Fawcett (1973/81). If this is so there is now little difference between the two models in this respect.
