<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
So — texts are coherent, cultures are not. Where does this leave linguistics which is articulated as a form of social action?</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
Clearly one important job, which has already begun […] lies in deconstructing the naturalisation process. Systemic functional linguistics has always adressed <i>[sic]</i> this concern, and <span style="color: magenta;"><i>English Text</i>'s development of discourse semantics and contextual theory</span> was undertaken with this goal explicitly in mind. What seems crucial here is <span style="color: #3d85c6;">a model which displays the way in which language inflects and is inflected by contextual systems</span>; <span style="color: red;">one model of this kind has been provided</span>.</blockquote>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: magenta;">[1]</span> As demonstrated by the reasoned arguments in the 550+ analyses on this website, <i>English Text</i>'s development of discourse semantics and contextual theory proceeds from multiple misunderstandings of SFL theory — misunderstandings so fundamental and pervasive that they undermine the validity of the work as theory. In an intelligent, informed academic community that values reason and intellectual integrity, this would be a serious problem.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">[2]</span> The relation between language and context is precisely defined in SFL theory as <b>realisation</b>. This is the relation of intensive identity between two levels of symbolic abstraction.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">[3]</span> The contextual model that has been provided confuses context (the culture that is realised by language) with sub-potentials of language itself (registers/genres). The confusion is along two theoretical dimensions simultaneously: stratification and instantiation.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">[1]</span> The claim here is that<br />
<ul>
<li>the relation between <b>affect</b> (a <span style="text-align: start;">neutral or charged tenor relation between interlocutors</span>) and <b>morality</b> (<span style="text-align: start;">principles of right and wrong</span>) </li>
<li>can be described as </li>
<li>the grammatical relation between <b>attitude</b> (<span style="text-align: start;">positive or negative evaluation</span>) and <b>modulation</b> (<span style="text-align: start;">obligation and inclination</span>).</li>
</ul>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">[2]</span> The claim here is that the giving of information conditions the demanding of goods-&-services:<br />
<ul>
<li>propositions that are realised by declaratives of the form <i>I like/dislike</i></li>
<li>condition</li>
<li><span style="text-align: start;">proposals that are realised by declaratives of the form </span><i>you should/shouldn't</i>.</li>
</ul>
<br />
In philosophy, the claim that an "ought" (prescription) can be derived from an "is" (description) is known as the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalistic_fallacy" target="_blank">Naturalistic Fallacy (G.E. Moore)</a>; see also <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Is%E2%80%93ought_problem" target="_blank">Hume's Law/Guillotine</a>.<br />
<br />
In SFL theory, the mental processes that relate to modulation are <b><i>not</i></b> those of emotion (<i>I like</i>), but those of <b>desideration</b> (<i>I would like</i>). This is because desiderative processes project proposals and can serve as interpersonal metaphors of modulation, as in <i>I would like you to finish this by tomorrow</i>.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Blogger Comments</u></b>:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;">[1]</span> This continues the misconstrual of Bernstein's coding orientation as ideology.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;">[2]</span> This continues the confusion of affect, as a dimension of tenor (context stratum), with affect as interpersonal meaning (semantics stratum). Halliday & Matthiessen (2014: 33) refer to the contextual system as 'sociometric rôles'.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">[3]</span> This stratal confusion is aided by the blurring of two distinct meanings of 'projection':<br />
<ul>
<li>tenor as the theoretical "projection" of the interpersonal metafunction onto the context stratum;</li>
<li>interpersonal meaning as the verbal projection of speakers.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666;">[4]</span> Trivially, 'exploring' is not a dimension.</div>

Martin (1992: 585):</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
Martin 1986 introduces the term <b>contratextuality</b> for texts which directly oppose each other from different positions and this idea has been extended in delicacy by Lemke (1988: 48). <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Contratextuality is critically related to semogenesis </span>in ways that are only beginning to be investigated (for a revealing study of the semiotic subversion of genre fiction by feminist writers see Cranny-Francis 1990) and it is probable that work in this area will be among the first to shed light on the vexing question of<span style="color: #e06666;"> how text renovates system</span> as dynamic open systems evolve, thereby <span style="color: #cc0000;">affirming</span> their metastability.</blockquote>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">[1]</span> To be clear, the semogenesis to which contratextuality is related involves three related processes:<br />
<ul>
<li>logogenesis, the instantiation of the system in the text;</li>
<li>ontogenesis, the development of the system in the individual; and</li>
<li>phylogenesis, the evolution of the system in the species.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="color: #e06666;">[2]</span> To be clear, on the SFL model, the relation between text and system is instantiation. In this view, language is a probabilistic system and it is differences in probabilities that define register variation (Halliday & Matthiessen 1999: 552-6). Probabilities in the system are manifested as frequencies in the text, and the frequencies in each text minutely nudge the probabilities in the system up or down.</div>

Martin (1992: 582):</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
Martin [1986] suggested as part of a model for dealing with ideology in crisis as<span style="color: #e06666;"> </span><span style="color: #a64d79;">system involving two axes</span>: protagonist/antagonist and left/right. […] In general terms the systemic oppositions are outlined below; <span style="color: #e06666;">as far as the dynamics of ideology are concerned these are best treated as genuine oppositions, not simply as alternative choices within a system</span>.</blockquote>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">[1]</span> This misunderstands system architecture. In terms of SFL theory, the system <b>network</b> (Fig. 7.28) involves two simultaneous (<b>con</b>junctively related) <b>systems</b>. The term 'axis', on the other hand, refers to the distinction between the paradigmatic and syntagmatic dimensions: i.e. system vs structure.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">[2]</span> This misunderstands system architecture and dynamics. Alternative choices (features) in systems are "genuine" oppositions, and the dynamics of the system is its instantiation (the selection of options and the activation of their realisation statements).</div>

Martin (1992: 581-2):</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">As noted with respect to text [7:5] above, variable realisation implies in a sense that all texts are multi-voiced.</span> <span style="color: #674ea7;">There is in other words a certain tension in the system, which manifests itself in semiotic processes.</span></div>

<b><u>Blogger Comments</u></b>:</div>
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;">[1]</span> This involves two dimensions of confusion, as previously identified <a href="http://discourse-semantics.blogspot.com.au/2016/09/misunderstanding-semantic-variation-and.html">here</a>. Martin claimed that, because one mother's coding orientation was variably realised linguistically, she had 'more than one voice' in the conversation, and this was falsely equated with being dialogic in the Bakhtinian sense.<br />
<br />

<span style="color: #a64d79;">[3]</span> Bernstein's coding orientations do <b><i>not</i></b> distribute (the undefined) "discursive power" — unevenly or evenly — and so this is not a cause of (the undefined) "semiotic tension in the community". The codes are different uses of language by different social groups. <span style="text-align: justify;">Halliday (1978: 106):</span></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
What Bernstein’s work suggests is that there may be differences in the relative orientation of different social groups towards the various functions of language in given contexts, and towards different areas of meaning that may be explored within a given function.</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And these sub-cultural angles are functions of the social structure; Halliday (1978: 123):</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
This angle of vision is a function of the social structure. It reflects, in our society, the pattern of social hierarchy, and the resulting tensions between an egalitarian ideology and a hierarchical reality.</blockquote>

Martin (1992: 581):</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
Perhaps the most that can be said at this stage is that from a synoptic perspective, <span style="color: red;">ideology is a </span><span style="color: red;">system</span><span style="color: red;"> of coding orientations which </span><span style="color: red;">makes meaning selectively available</span><span style="color: red;"> depending on subjects' class, gender, ethnicity and generation</span>. <span style="color: magenta;">Interpreted in these terms, all texts manifest, construe, renovate and symbolically realise ideology</span>, <span style="color: #a64d79;">just as they do language, register and genre</span>.</blockquote>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;">[1]</span> This confusion of ideology with coding orientation fixes <b>ideology</b> to the social co-ordinates of language users. It should be obvious that speakers with similar social co-ordinates can project very different ideologies, and that speakers with very different social co-ordinates can project very similar ideologies.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">[2]</span> This misunderstands Martin's own model of stratification. Taking (meta)metaredundancy into account, the claim — in Martin's terms only — should be:<br />
<ul>
<li><b>language</b> (not text) realises the realisation of ideology in the realisation of genre in register.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="color: #a64d79;">[3]</span> In SFL theory, the relation between texts and language, register and genre is <b><i>neither</i></b> manifestation, <b><i>nor</i></b> construal, <b><i>nor</i></b> renovation, <b><i>nor</i></b> symbolic realisation. The relevant theoretical dimension, instead, is the vector of instantiation:<br />
<ul>
<li><b>text</b> is a point of variation at the instance pole of instantiation, </li>
<li><b>register</b> and <b>genre</b> are complementary perspectives on a midway point of variation on the cline of instantiation, and </li>
<li><b>language</b> is the entire cline, since each point on the cline is a perspective on language.</li>
</ul>

<span style="color: magenta;">What are the implications of Hasan and Bernstein's work for the interpretation of ideology as system?</span> <span style="color: #3d85c6;">This is a question which is in some respects premature.</span> <span style="color: red;">Work on mapping out the fashions of meaning </span><span style="color: red;">constituting</span><span style="color: red;"> a culture at the level of ideology has only just begun</span> (<span style="color: #3d85c6;">most of Hasan's own work</span> <span style="color: red;">in this area</span> <span style="color: #3d85c6;">remains unpublished as of 1989</span>). …</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">All of this is compounded by the fact that fashions of meaning </span><span style="color: #6aa84f;">and the more abstract notion of coding orientation</span><span style="color: #6aa84f;"> need always to be interpreted in context — that is, with respect to the genre and register through which they are manifested</span>. <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Given our present understanding</span> <span style="color: #3d85c6;">of these planes</span>, <span style="color: #3d85c6;">this is a challenging task; and certainly not one for which even a provisional network of oppositions can be provided at this time</span>.</blockquote>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: magenta;">[1]</span> The work of Hasan and Bernstein has <b><i>no</i></b> implications for the interpretation of ideology as system. The reason for this is that neither work is concerned with ideology. One way to define 'ideology' is as <span style="text-align: justify;">a system of ideas and ideals, especially one which forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy. In contrast, from the perspective of SFL theory, Bernstein's work on codes is concerned with how social structures affect the semantics of registers, and Hasan's work is concerned with that semantic variation.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">[2]</span> The implication here is that Martin cannot devise an ideology system until Hasan has provided one that he can alter.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;">[3]</span> This is misleading. It misrepresents the work of Hasan and colleagues on semantic variation as framed within Martin's model of ideology.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">[4]</span> Given that Martin locates fashions of meaning and coding orientations on a contextual plane of ideology, this misconstrues <b>lower</b> levels in the stratification hierarchy as the <b>context</b> of <b>higher</b> levels. This is the <b>opposite</b> of what the hierarchy represents.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: red;">[1]</span> This confuses variability in the linguistic realisation (semantic style) of <b>one</b> coding orientation with the <b>different</b> linguistic realisations (semantic variation) of <b>different</b> coding orientations. The notion of a text as "based on" semantic variation derives from this misunderstanding.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: magenta;">[2]</span> Martin's claim here is that because the mother uses <b>two different linguistic realisations of her coding orientation</b> to control her son's behaviour, the text realises <b>more than one voice</b>, and that this makes it <b>dialogic</b> in Bakhtin's terms. This misunderstands the terms 'voice' and 'dialogic', as formulated by Bakhtin. The glossary provided in Bakhtin (1981: 434, 428, 426) clarifies the distinction between them, and how they differ from heteroglossia:<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">VOICE</span><br />
This is the speaking personality, the speaking consciousness. A voice always has a will or desire behind it, its own timbre and overtones. Single-voiced discourse is the dream of poets; double-voiced discourse the realm of the novel. At several points Bakhtin illustrates the difference between these categories by moving language-units from one plane to the other — for example, shifting a trope from the plane of poetry to the plane of prose: both poetic and prose tropes are ambiguous [literally "double-meaninged"] but a poetic trope, while meaning more than one thing, is always only single-voiced. Prose tropes by contrast always contain more than one voice, and are therefore dialogised.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">HETEROGLOSSIA</span><br />
The base condition governing the operation of meaning in any utterance. It is that which insures the primacy of context over text. At any given time, in any given place, there will be a set of conditions — social, historical, meteorological, physiological — that will insure that a word uttered in that place and at that time will have a meaning different than it would have under any other conditions; all utterances are heteroglot in that they are functions of a matrix of forces practically impossible to recoup, and therefore impossible to resolve. Heteroglossia is as close a conceptualisation as is possible of that locus where centripetal and centrifugal forces collide; as such, it is that which a systematic linguistics must always suppress.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">DIALOGISM</span><br />
Dialogism is the characteristic epistemological mode of a world dominated by heteroglossia. Everything means, is understood, as a part of a greater whole — there is a constant interaction between meanings, all of which have the potential of conditioning others. Which will affect the other, how it will do so and in what degree is what is actually settled at the moment of utterance. This dialogic imperative, mandated by the pre-existence of the language world relative to any of its current inhabitants, insures that there can be no actual monologue. One may, like a primitive tribe that knows only its own limits, be deluded into thinking there is one language, or one may, as grammarians, certain political figures and normative framers of "literary languages" do, seek in a sophisticated way to achieve a unitary language. In both cases the unitariness is relative to the overpowering force of heteroglossia, and thus dialogism.</blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
Hasan's major innovation has been to base her study on semantic variables, essentially by conceptualising system networks as variable rules and coding her data on the basis of selections from delicately elaborated <span style="color: red;">discourse semantic </span>networks she devised.</blockquote>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is misleading. The unwarranted intrusion of the word 'discourse' falsely implies that Hasan shares Martin's misconstrual of semantics as discourse semantics. Hasan's networks are semantic networks.</div>

Martin (1992: 576-7):</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
Basically Bernstein's suggestion […] is social class positions subjects to make meaning in distinctive ways depending on context. Taking up Hallidays' (Thibault 1987: 620) terms quoted above, <span style="color: #6aa84f;">code</span> "bifurcates" register, with the result that speakers from different classes (or generations, ethnicities and genders) construe context in different ways. In Bernstein's own terms:</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">… I shall take the view that the code which the linguist invents to explain the formal properties of grammar is capable of generating any number of speech codes, and there is no reason for believing that any one language code is better than another in this respect. On this argument, language is a set of rules to which all speech codes must comply, but which speech codes are realised is a function of the culture acting through social relationships in specific contexts. (1971/1974: 197)</span></div>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
Without an interpretation of these divergent <span style="color: #45818e;">speech codes, or better, <b>fashions of meaning</b></span>, contextual theory does indeed run the danger of <span style="color: magenta;">over-determining</span>, <span style="color: #a64d79;">homogenising</span> and thereby <span style="color: #e06666;">reifying</span> semiotic communities. The notion of 'fashions of meaning' which has been used to relativise context here is based on work by Whorf who differentiated languages and cultures on the basis of different fashions of speaking …</blockquote>

It is important to avoid reifying the codes, which are not varieties of language in the sense that registers and social dialects are varieties of language. […] The code is actualised in language through register, the clustering of semantic features according to situation type. (Bernstein in fact uses the term ‘variant’, i.e. ‘elaborated variant’, to refer to those characteristics of a register that derive from the choice of code.) But the codes themselves are types of social semiotic, symbolic orders of meaning generated by the social system. Hence they transmit, or control the transmission of, the underlying patterns of a culture and subculture, acting through the primary socialising agencies of family, peer group and school.</div>

<span style="color: magenta;">[1]</span> This is misleading. Theory–competent Systemicists do not distinguish register and genre from language and do not model them as systems.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">[2]</span> This confuses culture (context potential) with the language that realises it. The confusion is thus along the dimension of stratification.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">[3]</span> Neither of these are problems for proposing a system of language potential. On the one hand, the social distribution of language system variants is a further dimension to be added to the model, and on the other, the evolution of the language system is modelled in SFL theory (Halliday & Matthiessen 1999: 18) by phylogenesis in relation to the other two semogenic processes:</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">logogenesis provides the material for ontogenesis which provides the material for phylogenesis, while</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">phylogenesis provides the environment for ontogenesis which provides the environment for logogenesis.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">[4]</span> The claim here is that:</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">it is the tensions produced by the <b>unequal</b> distribution of meaning potential that forces a culture to <b>change</b></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Leaving aside the possibility that there may be other factors that "force a culture to change", the implication here is that an <b>equal</b> distribution of meaning potential would reduce tensions, but by doing so, <b>put an end to cultural change</b>.</div>

<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">[1]</span> This is doubly misleading. Firstly, 'the register and genre theory reviewed and developed above' does <i style="font-weight: bold;">not</i> represent systemic theory's attempts. On the contrary, it is inconsistent with SFL theory, and represents Martin's attempts only. Secondly, 'the register and genre theory reviewed and developed above' does not model heteroglossia and dialogism. On the contrary, what is claimed bears little or no relation to heteroglossia and dialogism; see further below.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">[2]</span> This is inconsistent, both with Martin's model and with SFL theory.<br />
<br />
In terms of Martin's stratification model, register and genre <b>systems</b> are realised by the <b>systems</b> of <b>language</b>, <b><i>not</i></b> by <b>text</b>. In this, Martin confuses the <b>system</b> and <b>instance</b> poles of the cline of instantiation.<br />
<br />
In terms of SFL theory, it involves two confusions. Firstly, the notion of register and genre <b>systems </b>confuses a midway point of variation on the cline of instantiation (register/genre/text type) with the <b>system</b> pole of the cline. Secondly, it misconstrues the relation between system and text as realisation instead of instantiation. (This in addition to the inconsistencies entailed by modelling varieties of language as context rather than language.)<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">[3]</span> This is misleading in terms of both register and genre. In terms of register, any chance of providing an account how one text relates to another is undermined by Martin's numerous misinterpretations of field, tenor and mode systems, as demonstrated in many previous posts. In terms of genre, Martin merely provides two simple taxonomies of factual and story genres (text <b>types</b>). Martin nowhere presents any account of how his formulation of register and genre relates one individual <b>text</b> to another.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">[4]</span> To be clear, in SFL theory, cohesion is not a relation between 'products' (texts).<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">[5]</span> This is the opposite of what is true. This is precisely what Martin's model does <b><i>not</i></b> do. In SFL theory, the relation of texts to text potential — of instances to system — is modelled as the cline of instantiation. Martin's model is inconsistent with the cline of instantiation, due to the fact that it misconstrues the midway point on the cline (register/genre), not as language, but as <b>systems</b> of <b>context</b>, and as such, as higher levels of symbolic abstraction than language. This follows from not understanding either stratification or instantiation, as demonstrated many times in previous posts.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e;">[6]</span> To be clear, Halliday & Matthiessen (1999: 18) identify three types of semogenic processes:<br />
<ul>
<li>logogenesis, the instantiation of the system in the text;</li>
<li>ontogenesis, the development of the system in the individual; and</li>
<li>phylogenesis, the evolution of the system in the species.</li>
</ul>

<b><u>Blogger Comments</u></b>:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">[1]</span> This misrepresents Bakhtin and misunderstands his notion of heteroglossia. According to the glossary in Bakhtin (1981: 428), 'heteroglossia' is the notion that the same wording has different meanings according to context:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The base condition governing the operation of meaning in any utterance. It is that which insures the primacy of context over text. At any given time, in any given place, there will be a set of conditions — social, historical, meteorological, physiological — that will insure that <b>a word uttered in that place and at that time will have a meaning different than it would have under any other conditions</b>; all utterances are heteroglot in that they are functions of a matrix of forces practically impossible to recoup, and therefore impossible to resolve. Heteroglossia is as close a conceptualisation as is possible of that locus where centripetal and centrifugal forces collide; as such, it is that which a systematic linguistics must always suppress.</blockquote>
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e;">[2]</span> This misrepresents Bakhtin and misunderstands his notion of dialogism. According to the glossary in Bakhtin (1981: 426), 'dialogism' is the notion that all utterances are made in the context of other utterances, with which they interact:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Dialogism is the characteristic epistemological mode of a world dominated by heteroglossia. Everything means, is understood, as a part of a greater whole — <b>there is a constant interaction between meanings, all of which have the potential of conditioning others</b>. Which will affect the other, how it will do so and in what degree is what is actually settled at the moment of utterance. This dialogic imperative, mandated by the pre-existence of the language world relative to any of its current inhabitants, insures that there can be no actual monologue. One may, like a primitive tribe that knows only its own limits, be deluded into thinking there is one language, or one may, as grammarians, certain political figures and normative framers of "literary languages" do, seek in a sophisticated way to achieve a unitary language. In both cases the unitariness is relative to the overpowering force of heteroglossia, and thus dialogism.</blockquote>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #6aa84f;">[3]</span> To be clear, in SFL theory, texture is the property of being a text (Halliday & Hasan 1976: 2).<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">[4]</span> The distinction between heteroglossia and dialogism in Bakhtin's writing is made clear by an appended glossary (Bakhtin (1981: 423-34).<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">[5]</span> Here Martin maps his misunderstanding of heteroglossia onto the SFL notion of system, and his misunderstanding of dialogism onto the SFL notion of process. Further complexity is added to these misunderstandings and inconsistencies when it is remembered that Martin has throughout misinterpreted the SFL notion of process — the instantiation of the system in the instance — as the axial realisation of system in structure, as demonstrated in previous posts.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;">[6]</span> Bakhtin would not have associated heteroglossia with system and dialogism with process because such a mapping is wildly inconsistent with each pair of oppositions.</div>

<span style="color: #e06666;">[1]</span> As previously explained, <b>context</b> is interpreted here as types of <b>language</b>, rather than as context, with the result that, being context, these types of language<b> </b>are<b> </b>not considered language.</div>

<span style="color: red;">[2]</span> This is misleading, in that it overstates what has actually been done. Almost<b style="font-style: italic;"> none</b> of the systems that Martin has provided specifies <b>structural</b> realisations. This is partially disguised by the fact that some networks do include realisation statements; however, these merely provide textual instances of the feature.<br />
<ul>
<li>Of Martin's <b>49</b> discourse semantic system networks, across four metafunctions, only <b>4</b> specify structural realisations, and all are confined to the interpersonal metafunction.</li>
<li>Of Martin's <b>11</b> register system networks, <b>not one</b> specifies any structural realisations; that is, <b>no register structures are specified by register systems</b>.</li>
<li>Martin provides <b>0</b> genre systems — only taxonomies of types (factual and story genres); that is, <b>no genre structures are specified by genre systems</b>.</li>
</ul>

<span style="color: #cc0000;">[3]</span> This is misleading, in that it overstates what has actually been done. Martin has <b><i>not</i></b> provided a rank scale for his planes of register and genre, and in the case of the stratum of discourse semantics, only one of the four metafunctional systems, the interpersonal, includes a rank scale: exchange and move. The ranks discussed in the experiential dimension of discourse semantics — the clause and group — are ranks of a different stratum: lexicogrammar. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: magenta;">[4]</span> The level that does not involve metafunctional diversity is genre. Metafunction is thus another dimension in which the model is inconsistent with the architecture of SFL theory, which follows from the misinterpretation of genre as context.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;">[5]</span> To be clear, these are the favoured modes of <b>structural</b> realisation only, varying according to metafunction. Significantly, these were introduced in the section on genre, the plane without metafunctional diversity. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">[6]</span> This confuses text with language. Text is only the <b>instance pole</b> of the cline of instantiation. Language is the entire cline, from systemic potential to actual instance, with every point on the cline providing a different perspective.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
'Text as system', therefore, is the instantial system; i.e. the system of an actual text, not the system of the language as a whole. It is the instance viewed from the system pole. Halliday & Matthiessen (1999: 384): </div>
<blockquote style="text-align: justify;">
If we look at logogenesis from the point of view of the system (rather than from the point of view of each instance), we can see that logogenesis builds up a version of the system that is particular to the text being generated: the speaker/writer uses this changing system as a resource in creating the text; and the listener/reader has to reconstruct something like that system in the process of interpreting the text — with the changing system as a resource for the process of interpretation. We call this an instantial system.</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
'Text as process', on the other hand, is the process of <b>instantiation</b> that occurs at the <b>instance pole</b> of the cline of instantiation during <b>logogenesis</b>. As previously explained, Martin misconstrues 'process' as <b>structure</b>, the syntagmatic axis, "viewed dynamically". That is, he confuses the <b><i>instantiation</i> of the system </b>as <b>instance</b> with the <b>axial <i>realisation</i> of the system</b> as <b>structure</b>.</div>
