ABSTRACT
Halliday (1994: 106) states that the transitivity system allows us to ‘construe the world of experience into a manageable set of process types’. This type of ‘experiential’ meaning is manifested at the level of form in the Main Verb and its extensions. In the Cardiff Grammar (CG), these formal items realise the ‘Process’ in the clause and the associated ‘Participant Roles’ at the level of meaning.
