题目：Transitivity analysis: possibilities and challenges across languages



摘要：This talk addresses the possibilities and challenges of so-called
‘transitivity analysis’ in relation to language description. First, the
presentation locates the key resources for the lexicogrammatical construal
of experience through language within the general SFL architecture. The
paper then reviews the ‘trinocular principle’ in relation to the
description of process types, that is, the need to look at experiential
clause resources ‘from above’, ‘from around’ and ‘from below’. Next, a
number of descriptive generalisations are examined in close relation to the
description of experiential resources across languages. Considerations
emerging from a current two-year research project in this area (VRI grant
1/2014), with a particular focus on the experiential cryptogrammar of
Spanish, are also referred to in this section. The paper finally discusses
the main challenges and possibilities for descriptive work centred on
process types, both cross-linguistically and within particular languages.
