Discontinuous Residue and Theme in Higher-Order Semiotic: A Case for Interlocking Systems

اين تحقيق در نظر دارد پتانسيلها و قابلينهاي تيوري زبانشناختي نحوي كاربردي را با نشان دادن رابطه بين باقيمانده معنايي قطع شده و اجزاي نخستين جمله نشان دهد. اين تيوري نگاهي به زبان است كه ابزار تحليلي فراواني براي نشان دادن پتانسيلها و قابليتهاي عميق خود در اختيار دارد. اين ابزار تحليلي به محقق نگاهي تيزبينانه و عميق ميدهد تا بتواند انواع كلام و متون را مورد مطالعه قرار داده و جنبه هاي مختلف آنها را در زندگي واقعي نشان دهد و به نظم در آورد. اين مطالعه نشان ميدهد كه سيستمهاي معنايي در ظاهر جدا با يكديگر ارتباطهاي چندگانه و همزمان دارند و زبان كلام نثر تخيلي بدينگونه تشكيل ميشود. وقتي چيدمان معمولي معنا در جمله تغيير ميكند يا به هم ميخورد , اجزايي به اول جمله ميايند كه در معناي كلامي جمله تغيير اساسي ايجاد ميكنند و براي محققان و زبان آموزان انگليسي مفاهيم و اهميت بسزايي دارند.

The fallacy persists in discourse analysis research to explore lexicogrammatical phenomena detached from any adjacent plane of the meaning potential. In an attempt to dispel this and toss out some preconceived notions about what a modern SFG vantage point should involve, this study homes in on one aspect of SFG within prose fiction in particular, which is very revealing in terms of how separate system networks are actually in synergistic simultaneity, and how SFG allows one , phenomenally well, to bring such synergies out, getting to the heart of the fact that language pervasively operates on multiple planes of textuality simultaneously. Thus, building upon Halliday’s 2004 work, the quest is if it is interpersonally significant when the Residue is split into two parts; more importantly, if it is also laced with some lexicogrammatical quality on the textual plane, in light of the fairly well-entrenched assumption that there is always Theme at work when the Residue is split. Halliday is the only scholar to touch upon the topic of Discontinuous Residue and its relationship to Marked Theme in the culmination of his groundbreaking career, i.e. his 2004 work. Having driven home the proposal to make into a watchword the ubiquity of interlocking macro-semantic system networks, some pedagogical and research implications and suggestions flowing from this are brought up.
