Martin (1992: 53, 52):
To begin, it is useful to compare Burton's analysis of a basic action exchange with that developed in 2.3 above. The English Text analysis developed to this point is presented first, with full feature specifications at exchange and move rank.
Blogger Comments:
[1] This is misleading. Feature specifications for exchange rank were not developed in 2.3 above, and Martin does not provide a system network of features for exchange rank.
[2] To be clear, Figure 2.13 misrepresents paradigmatic features as syntagmatic structures (exchange structure), and posits the same features at both ranks ('negotiating', 'exchanging'). Cf. positing the PROCESS TYPE 'material' at both clause and group rank.
