Above the clause PART 1 (chapter 7)

Clauses, like all grammatical units, can be combined to form 'complexes'. A clause complex can be constituted by many clauses. At each 'nexus' - the point at which two clauses are joined together - two different grammatical systems come into play. One is TAXIS, which is about whether the clauses are treated as having equal status, or one is dependent on another. The second system is LOGICO-SEMANTIC RELATIONS, which is about the meanings that join clauses together. This talk introduces these systems.

Above the clause PART 2

In this second talk, I explore the grammatical system of LOGICO-SEMANTIC RELATIONS' in more detail, and look at how the options in this system combine with the system of TAXIS (i.e. whether two clauses are of equal status, or one is dependent on the other). I also discussion Halliday and Matthiessen's notion of 'semiotic weight'.
