Notes About Rose's Stratal Tension Account

In the list posting (here), Rose misrepresents lexicogrammar as discourse semantics, and

1. mistakes the interpersonal metafunction for the logical (as demonstrated here);
2. mistakes the textual metafunction for the experiential (as demonstrated here);
3. mis-identifies the Theme of a clause (as demonstrated here);
4. speaks of the text when claiming to speak of register and context, and totally misinterprets the context that the text construes and realises (as demonstrated here).

This positive feedback immediately triggered in Rose what Bartlett referred to, in response, as "poorly disguised invective", followed by Rose's positive self-judgements recorded later on this blog.
