On group and phrase in functional grammar
The intermediate ranking unit between “word” and “clause” on the lexicogrammatical rank scale in Systemic Grammar is generally known as a “group”. The article discusses problems posed by the use of this label and proposes that the unit should be known as a “phrase” and be seen as a unit which’ is determined by its function in a given text as an element of clause structure. A “group”, however, is “an expansion of a word” (Halliday 1994:180) and th…
Reaffirming the Predicator and verbal group in Systemic Grammar: A reply to Fawcett's “In place of Halliday's ‘verbal group’”
In early (Scale and Category) expositions of Systemic Grammar, the verbal group realised the Predicator. Halliday now appears to recognise the Finite as a separate element from the Predicator in clause structure, thereby having more than one clause element realised by different constituents of the same verbal group. Fawcett dispenses with the Predicator and the verbal group entirely and analyses the various verbal constituents as separate clause …
On functional elements of clause structure
There is a surprising discrepancy in the range and scope of functional elements of clause structure. The article first outlines the variant presentations of the various classes of nominal, verbal, adjectival and adverbial elements together with their associated rationale. It then proposes a framework based on functional criteria, in which significant changes are made to the nature of the object and the complement. In addition, as with the analysi…
Determining objects, adjuncts and complements in English
Traditional criteria for determining objects (extensive complements), circumstantial adjuncts, and (intensive) complements are very diverse. Although objects, adjuncts and complements are functional elements of structure rather than formal units, the criterion of the functional role of an element in the syntax is, in practice, given restricted prominence and can often be seen to be competing with other criteria, such as grammatical class, optiona…
