Particularly, they both take experience as the starting point, but adopt different upward approaches to the description of the experiential metafunction. Accordingly, existing studies of Chinese by reference to such English descriptions come up with divergent Chinese transitivity systems. Since it is prevailing practice to start the description of experiential metafunction from the end of experience rather than from the end of the transitivity system, a downward approach to do this is worth exploring. That is, the construction of the transitivity system presupposes a systematic categorization of experience and a natural relationship between experience and the transitivity system. Based on the basic level category theory, this article describes experience at three levels, and differentiates it into two modes – autonomous and influenced. Observing this account, and adhering to the mapping relationship between experience and the transitivity system, this article constructs a transitivity system of Chinese as consisting of processes at three levels along the delicate dimension, and elaborates on these at the basic level, since they are the most salient and essential to human beings.","PeriodicalId":84010,"journal":{"name":"Word & world","volume":"91 1","pages":"317 - 347"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82211105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Overall, while Arab linguists mostly interpret the system from a temporal angle, western studies have treated it as fully aspectual. Both camps have been inspired by the work of traditional Arab grammarians who clearly stated that the system is not paradigmatically exclusive. This article will describe the system of temporal values in Arabic by following in the footsteps of Matthiessen 1996 in his systemic functional description of tense in English. By locating the system at word rank, instead of group rank, most of the past studies have overlooked a whole range of perspectives such as serial verb constructions and the tactic interdependency potential of the verbal unit in Arabic. Based on Comrie's work on aspect and his assertion that some ‘aspect’ languages can construe different temporal values, I will suggest that it may be time to treat temporal descriptions with more flexibility and instead of dividing languages into two dichotomous groups, place them on a temporal spectrum where at one end there is tense and at the other aspect.","PeriodicalId":84010,"journal":{"name":"Word & world","volume":"5 1","pages":"277 - 316"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91364542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We approach nominal group realizations of historical activities from a ‘top-down’ perspective along the hierarchy of stratification. While the discourse semantic figures construing activities can be realized congruently through a clause, the academic discourse of history favors nominal realizations. Previous descriptions of nominal groups in Mandarin Chinese have focused predominantly on the realization of entities. The nominal realizations of figures, however, have yet to be given sufficient consideration. We will show that some elements involved in such nominal groups do not share the functional characteristics of congruent ones. In addition to recognizable functions including Thing, Epithet, Measurer, Deictic and Qualifier, two distinctive functions, named here as Target and Orientation, are also identified. Our study aims to illustrate a descriptive method that considers multiple strata and provide a description of nominal groups involved in metaphorical realizations. The study suggests that grammatical descriptions need to reason from above, as well as round about and below – taking into account both discourse semantics and register variation.","PeriodicalId":84010,"journal":{"name":"Word & world","volume":"22 1","pages":"109 - 144"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87536930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, it builds a meaning-based description of Sundanese nominal groups, born of educational concerns associated with developing literacy programs. To this end, it describes not only the formal syntagms at play, but also their functions; not only the paradigmatic choices that are available, but how they are taken up in text; and not only the grammar by itself, but how it realizes meanings in discourse. The result is a richly co-textualized and metafunctional description of Sundanese nominal groups that is illustrated through texts from a range of genres and registers. It first steps through the nominal group textually, detailing the resources available for tracking participants and for organizing informational prominence. Next it explores the nominal group interpersonally, considering the attitudes and graduation nominal groups realize and the relative social relationships between speakers. Finally, it considers the nominal group ideationally, exploring its resources for organizing experience and the ways it elaborates entities and metaphorically realizes events and occurrences. Together, this builds a detailed view of Sundanese nominal groups that can aid the ongoing development of literacy programs in Indonesia.","PeriodicalId":84010,"journal":{"name":"Word & world","volume":"104 1","pages":"145 - 199"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77418352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
