Thanks, Chris.
Let me just add that the reference is to Construing Experience through
Meaning (and not to some Edition 2.5 of the IFG).
By the way, the ref is immediately followed with generous examples that I
have found very useful in teaching, after-seminar discussions, and thinking
in the shower.
Verily, an "inexhaustible treasure - house of knowledge!"

Dear Colleagues,
The following might be a useful resource when doing transitivity analyses.
Halliday & Matthiessen (1999: 549):
We have tried to make the point that the human condition is such that no
singulary, determinate construction of experience would enable us to
survive. We have to be able to see things in indeterminate ways: now
this, now that, partly one thing, partly the other — the transitivity
system is a paradigm example, and that lies at the core of the experiential
component of grammar. There are perhaps five basic types of indeterminacy in
the ideation base: ambiguities, blends, overlaps, neutralisations, and
complementarities — although it should be recognised from the start that
these categories are also somewhat indeterminate in themselves. What
follows is a brief characterisation of each in turn:
(1) *ambiguities* ('either a or x'): one form of wording construes two
distinct meanings, each of which is exclusive of the other.
(2) *blends* ('both b and y'): one form of wording construes two different
meanings,
both of which are blended into a single whole.
(3) *overlaps* ('partly c, partly z'): two categories overlap so that
certain members display some features of each.
(4) *neutralisations*: in certain contexts the difference between two
categories disappears.
(5) *complementarities*: certain semantic features or domains are
construed in two contradictory ways.
