Abstract

Abstract: In this paper, an attempt is made to explore the notion of clause complex in systemic functional linguistics. Conducted in the light of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), the exploration is aimed at three dimensions: the composition of a clause complex, the location of the clause complex in the overall linguistic system, and the functional organization of the clause complex. 

Keywords: Clause, clause complex, taxis, univariate, multivariate, paratactic relation, hypotactic relation, expansion, projection.
