Ideational semiosis: a tri-stratal perspective on grammatical metaphor

Resumen

This paper addresses the challenge of analysing texts for ideational grammatical metaphor. It undertakes this task from the perspective of recent work on fi eld (Doran & Martin in press) and discourse semantics (Hao 2020a). In doing so it highlights the benefi ts of adopting a tri-stratal perspective on experiential and logical grammatical metaphor (Hao 2020b) – bringing all three of the most relevant strata (i.e. fi eld, discourse semantics and lexicogrammar) into the picture.
