ABSTRACT
For his own part, 'those features' 'explicitly claimed as universal are built into the theory', notably his 'hypothesis' that three '"metafunctions''' 'organize' 'the content systems' 'in all languages' (IF xxxiv) (cf. 9.47f). 'But the descriptive categories are treated as particular'; 'it is far from clear just how similar a pair of features in different languages should be in order to justify calling them by the same name'.
