And similarly, one way to model being-&-having potential,
in the most general terms, is to use Halliday & Matthiessen’s system
network of relational clauses.
[Extract from Figure 5-44 in Halliday & Matthiessen (2004:
302): system network of transitivity
(agency and process type)]
This construes relational social potential, least
delicately, as either intensive
(elaborating) or possessive (extending) or circumstantial
(enhancing) and either attributive
(class membership) or identifying
(identity).
That is, relational
social potential can be classified by these general categorial combinations.
