Reminding Phoricity, Relevance Phoricity And Bridging Clarified

Martin (1992: 144):
It remains to propose a notation for distinguishing relevance from reminding phoricity and direct presumption from bridgingReminding phoricity and direct presumption can be taken as the unmarked cases, requiring no special notation; relevance phoricity and bridging can then be marked as valences on the dependency line connected [sic] presuming to presumed.

[1] To be clear, relevance phoricity is Martin's rebranding of Halliday & Hasan's (1976) comparative reference, misunderstood and relocated from lexicogrammar to Martin's discourse semantics stratum.

[2] To be clear, reminding phoricity is Martin's rebranding of Halliday & Hasan's (1976) demonstrative and personal reference, misunderstood and relocated from lexicogrammar to Martin's discourse semantics stratum.

[3] To be clear, Martin's bridging is a confusion of Halliday & Hasan's (1976) lexicogrammatical systems of reference and lexical cohesion, proposed as a discourse semantic system.
