Subject: [sys-func] Re: The Stratification of the Content Plane
Hi David,
What I take them to mean is that lexicogrammatical form and its function
originate as one. As they say, if it weren't for grammatical metaphor,
semantics and lexicogrammar could probably be modelled as function and form.
The relation of function to form is one of symbolic identity: they are two
perspectives on the same phenomenon, like the form and function of a chair.
On Halliday's model, a child's content plane before the move into language is
very different from the semantic stratum of language.
Yes, my 'Marx and Engels' lecturer long ago pointed out that Marx's original
quotation about religion being the opium of the people was also meant to
include its beneficial aspect.

I don't really understand what they (MAKH and CMIMM) mean when they say that
the two ORIGINATE as one, because there is a LOGICAL relationship between the
two. Logically, there has to be two things for there to be any relationship
"between" two processes.
On the other hand, if you take a historical materialist view, the two strata do
originate as one stratum, because the child does have something very like a
semantics before the lexicogrammatical layer comes into being. Isn't it more
correct to say that the two strata originate as one because there is a
historical (ontogenetic) relationship between the two (there may also be a
sociogenetic and even a phylogenetic relationship, but that's beyond my
expertise).
(Marxism may be the opium of intellectuals, but opium has very important
medical uses, you know....)

Dear Colleagues,
The following quotes (focused on the ideational metafunction) might be useful
for anyone who is unclear on Halliday's theoretical motivation for stratifying
the content plane into semantics and grammar.
Halliday & Matthiessen (1999: 26, 237):
Thus when we move from the lexicogrammar into the semantics, as we are doing
here, we are not simply relabelling everything in a new terminological guise.
We shall stress the fundamental relationship between (say) clause complex in
the grammar and sequence in the semantics, precisely because the two originate
as one: a theory of logical relationships between processes. But, as we have
shown, what makes such a theory (i.e. an ideation base as the construal of
experience) possible is that it is a stratal construction that can also be
deconstructed, every such occasion being a gateway to the creation of further
meanings which reconstrue in new and divergent ways. Thus a sequence is not
'the same thing as' a clause complex; if it was, language would not be a
dynamic open system of the kind that it is. …
Of course, what we are recognising here as two distinct constructions, the
semantic and the grammatical, never had or could have had any existence the one
prior to the other; they are our analytic representation of the overall
semioticising of experience — how experience is construed into meaning. If the
congruent pattern had been the only form of construal, we would probably not
have needed to think of semantics and grammar as two separate strata: they
would be merely two facets of the content plane, interpreted on the one hand as
function and on the other as form.
