2.2.1.4. Behavioural Processes
Behavioural process are processes of physiological and psychological behaviour, like breathing, dreaming, snoring, smiling, hiccuping, looking, watching,
listening. Behaviourals express a form of doing that does not usually extend to another participant. There is one obligatory participant in this process which is called
the Behaver. Like a Senser, the Behaver is conscious being. But the process is one of doing, not sensing.
21
For examples: He
Talks loudly
Participant: Behaver Process: behavioural
Circ.: manner
She Sighed
with despair
Participant: Behaver Process: behavioural
Circ.: manner
Behaviourals can contain a second participant that is like a Range: a restatement of the process. This participant is called the Behaviour
For example: He
smiled a broad smile
Participant: Behaver Process: behavioural
Participant: Behaviour
If there is another participant which is not a restatement of the process, it is called a Phenomenon.
For example: George
sniffed the soup
Participant: Behaver Process: behavioural Participant:
Phenomenon

2.2.1.5. Verbal Processes
Verbal processes are processes of saying, or more accurately, of symbolic signalling. Unlike mental processes, verbal processes do not require a conscious
participant. The Sayer, one of the participant in this processes, can be anything that puts out a signal. For this reason verbal processes might more appropriately be called
‘symbolic’ processes. There are three participants in this processes, they are Sayer, Receiver, and Verbiage. The Sayer, the participant responsible for the verbal
processs, does not have to be a conscious participant, but anything capable of putting out a signal. The Receiver is the one to whom the verbal process is directed; the
Beneficiary of a verbal message, occuring with or without a preposition depending on position in the clause. The Verbiage is a nominalized statement of the verbal
process: a noun expressing somekind of verbal behaviour. For examples:
I Told
Him about the news
Participant: Sayer
Process: verbal
Participant: Receiver
Participant: Verbiage
They Asked
Her A question
Particpant:Sayer Process: verbal
Participant: Receiver
Particpant: Verbiage
Although many verbal processes occur with a nominal element, a Verbiage, it is distinctive feature of verbal processes that they project. Verbals form a clause
23
complex, projecting a second clause by either quoting or reporting. Verbal processes quote or report speech. A relationship of interdependence between the two clauses
gives quoting or direct speech, whereas a relationship of dependency between projected and projecting clause gives indirect or reported speech. The projecting
clause may occur as first or second in the sequence. For examples:
DirectQuoted Speech ‘Harry
