This document discusses experiential meta-functions which are used to encode experiences. There are three main types: doing, projecting, and being. Doing describes external actions, projecting describes internal thoughts and feelings, and being describes states of existence. Within these types are subcategories like material, behavioral, mental, verbal, existential, and relational processes. Each process involves participants and can be used to construct clauses that describe who did what to whom and in what circumstances. Examples are provided to illustrate the different processes and participant roles.
Experiential Meta-Function
- 2. Experiential Meta-function: • To encode your expressions. • Experience can be encoded by 3 things: Things Events (Code category) (verbal group etc.) Circumstances • Process is core primary part of clause. • What does what to whom under what circumstances?
- 3. Possibilities: • Participant + Process + Circumstances • Participant + Process • Participant + Process + Participant • Participant + Process + Projected clause • Participant + Process + Participant + Projected Clause • Process
- 4. Types: Doing – They describe the expression/ action in outside the brain. Projecting – Whatever happens inside the brain .e.g. thinking etc. Being – They just describe the ‘being words’. Doing Material Behavioral Projecting Mental Verbal Being Existential Relational
- 5. Material: Used to encode the experiences in external material world. Participants • Actor Doer of action • Goal Thing affected by the process • Range Thing unaffected by the process • Beneficiary For whom the action is taken Recipient The one who receive s the outcome of action Client The one, for whom the action is done.
- 6. Examples: He goes to market. The house was on fire. She smelled the roses. I wrote a letter to a friend. He goes To market Actor Process: Material Goal The house was On fire Actor Process: Material Circumstance She Smelled The roses Actor Process: Material Range I wrote A letter To a friend Actor Process: Material Goal Beneficiary: Recipient
- 7. Behavioral: To encode physical and psychological behavior. Its is a bridge between material and mental. Participants: • Behaver Doer of action • Behavior Compliment
- 8. Examples: Tayyaba slept in the class. She cried bitterly. Tayyaba slept In the class Behaver Process: Behavioral Circumstance She cried bitterly Behaver Process: Behavioral Behavior
- 9. Mental: To encode the experiences of inner world of consciousness. Participants: • Sensor Does of Action • Phenomenon which explain process
- 10. Examples: Hania knows the answer. I know what you are talking about. Hania knows The answer Sensor Process: Mental Phenomenon I know What you are talking about Sensor Process: Mental Phenomenon
- 11. Verbal: To bring inner world outside. Participants: • Sayer Doer of action • Receiver Addressee of speech • Target Object of the talk • Verbiage Equal to phenomenon, what is said
- 12. Examples: She said what she had to say. ‘’What are you doing?’’, I asked him. I appreciate your intelligence. She said What she had to say Sayer Process: Verbal Verbiage ‘’what are you doing?’’ I asked him Verbiage Sayer Process: Verbal Receiver I appreciate Your intelligence Sayer Process: Verbal Target
- 13. Existential: To set up the existence of something. Participants: Existent Existing object
- 14. Examples: It is a laptop. There is a room in the corner. is A laptop Process: Existential Existent is A room In the corner Process: Existential Existent Circumstance
- 15. Relational: To develop a relationship between two participants. Participants: Relational Attributive Process Relates a participant to its attributes Carrier who carries the attributes Attribute They will be indefinite Relational Identifying Process Relates a participant to its identity Identified who is being identified Identifier The identity will be identified It allows to take a function and have to identify the form. Token form Value Function
- 16. Examples: She remains silent. The room on the right is your office. The red light represents stop. she remains silent Carrier Process: R.A.P Attribute The room on the right is Your office Identifier Process: R.I.P Identified The red light represents stop Token Process: R.I.P Value
