Although the motivation for a single-level analysis of experiential meaning is desirable, it does not appear that a one-dimensional classification is always sufficient to account for both syntactic and semantic realisation.
These findings are discussed in the light of the semantic properties of performativity, which may contribute to the difficulty in process type identification; further, possible alleviations to these issues are discussed in order to allow for a full consideration of both the syntactic and semantic realisation of the clause, in situations where these streams of information may diverge.
We now explore these two most common types of circumstantial meaning in more detail, beginning with temporal resources, and examining both the semantic and structural realisation aspects.
This research is motivated by the realisation that semantic technology can be used to develop computational tools in support of designers' creativity by focusing on the inspirational stage of design.
It invited research on closely related fronts, namely: (a) the derived structure pertaining to register varieties; (b) the CC features underlying its functional elements; (c) the environmental conditions for the operation of the obligatory and optional elements; and (d) their modes of realisation by semantic categories which are themselves realized as lexicogrammatical patterns.
In broad strokes, if one accepts that there exist typical and atypical realisations of semantic properties in the lexicogrammar, then it must be the case that it is possible for two texts to be different in their lower-level (lexico-grammatical) properties, but identical in their semantics.
After about an hour of such analysis, a key (semantic) connection was made, the realisation that bimetallic models had only been explicitly discussed in the literature from the year 2003 onwards.
When considered, for instance, with reference to semantics and lexicogrammar, a metaphorical realisation refers to a realisation of a semantic feature by atypical means (c.f. Halliday 1985 for the original proposal, and Ravelli 1985 [1999] Taverniers 2003; Devrim 2015 for discussions).
In the three instances above, the broad semantic range of the four realisations of Valuation suggested that the meaning of this Appreciation subtype can actually be further sub-categorised into more delicate groups, dealing with the appreciation of 'importance' (Significance) and assessing Harm (e.g. destructive) or Benefit (e.g. helpful) as (White 1998) and (Humphrey 2008, 147) proposed.
Recent years have seen a growing realisation of the importance of semantics and the relevance of Semantic Web technologies.
The next section explores the semantic types of circumstantial meanings across different structural realisations in our corpus, aiming to show that by viewing texts with this broader gaze on circumstantial meaning, we can make visible more of how these texts make meaning.
