Martin (1992: 425, 427):
Notes on analysis:
(i) home and work are taken as places in this analysis to show their relationship to the domicile string; they could just as well have been treated as elaborations of the Process coming (home is so treated in the action strings below). …
Notes on the analysis:
(i) dead is taken as a metaphorical realisation of the action "die", and so worked into the "living" string here.
(ii) home is treated as a locative elaboration of the Process coming (cf. its treatment as a place in the place string above).
(iii) name is taken as a metaphorical realisation of the action "name", and so taken [as] a repetition of named in [6:33:a].

[1] In SFL theory, Location circumstances are related to the nucleus (Process/Medium) by enhancement, not elaboration. These are the clauses involved:
The next morning
|
she
|
ran away
|
from home
|
Location: temporal: rest
|
Medium
|
Process
|
Location: spatial: motion: away from
|
Meanwhile
|
the seven dwarfs
|
were coming
|
home
|
from work
|
Medium
|
Process
|
Location: spatial: motion: towards
|
Location: spatial: motion: away from
|
[2] These are not instances of grammatical metaphor, but in any case, it isn't necessary to regard them as such for the purpose of analysing lexical cohesion — the lexical strings of Martin's discourse semantic ideation.
The clause featuring dead is an intensive attributive clause, congruently realising a figure of ascriptive being–&–having:
because
|
her parents
|
were
|
dead
|
Carrier
|
Process: intensive
|
Attribute
|
The clauses featuring name are intensive identifying clauses, congruently realising figures of identifying being–&–having:
what
|
is
|
your name
|
Token/Identified
|
Process: intensive
|
Value/Identifier
|
my name
|
is
|
Snow White
|
Value/Identified
|
Process: intensive
|
Token/Identifier
|
