Chris--your inventory of the architecture of SFL doesn't include RANK (or
AXIS). Three possible reasons occur to me....

a) The Cardiff grammar is more strictly Firthian and works with "pieces" of
language rather than with the clear hierarchy of units. We can actually see
this in the diagramme because the arrow that connects "realization
rules/statements" to "system networks" isn't realization or activation but
rather "re-entry". So there actually isn't a rank scale. (This is also
implicit in the rather vague expression "richly described tree structure",
which my old syntax teacher Andy Radford would have heartily approved
of....)

b) "Rank" is an organizing principle within Structure (just as System and
Structure are principles within Axis). The inventory only includes the
basic concepts from the IFG intro and not the points of origin, principles
or meta-principles which order them. (It's an inventory and not an actual
building!)

c) "Rank" isn't all pervasive in the way that, say, metafunction is. For
example, Halliday and Matthiessen are agnostic about whether rank exists
across the level of context or even semantics, but they have no such doubts
about system, structure, instantiation, or metafunction. (On the other
hand, H&M are agnostic about whether metafunction exists at the level of
phonology and phonetics and I am much less so....)

(I don't really know much about the Cardiff Grammar beyond what I've heard
at ISFC. It would be good to hear from some of the people on the list who
actually use it.... For example, what does the knight's move from
"selection expression of meaning features" to "realization
rules/statements" mean? And why are the descriptions in the boxes actually
terms from linguistics rather than from language and from grammatics rather
than from grammar? Why are there scare quotes on the word 'meaning'?)

Dear Colleagues,

The following might be useful for those who are unclear about how the
Cardiff model deploys the architecture of SFL Theory (system, structure,
stratification, instantiation, metafunction) — in this case, the dimensions
of instantiation and stratification.

Fawcett (2010: 36):

[image: Figure 4.png]

As can be seen, in this model, reading horizontally,
a selection expression is an instance of a system network,
and a structure is an instance of realisation statements.

And in terms of stratification, reading vertically,
a system network is realised by realisation statements,
and a selection expression is realised by a structure.
