خلاصة:
The fallacy persists in discourse analysis research to explore lexicogrammatical phenomena detached from any adjacent plane of the meaning potential. In an attempt to dispel this and toss out some preconceived notions about what a modern SFG vantage point should involve, this study homes in on one aspect of SFG within prose fiction in particular, which is very revealing in terms of how separate system networks are actually in synergistic simultaneity, and how SFG allows one , phenomenally well, to bring such synergies out, getting to the heart of the fact that language pervasively operates on multiple planes of textuality simultaneously. Thus, building upon Halliday‟s 2004 work, the quest is if it is interpersonally significant when the Residue is split into two parts; more importantly, if it is also laced with some lexicogrammatical quality on the textual plane, in light of the fairly well-entrenched assumption that there is always Theme at work when the Residue is split. Halliday is the only scholar to touch upon the topic of Discontinuous Residue and its relationship to Marked Theme in the culmination of his groundbreaking career, i.e. his 2004 work. Having driven home the proposal to make into a watchword the ubiquity of interlocking macro-semantic system networks, some pedagogical and research implications and suggestions flowing from this are brought up.

Autumn 2008 Discontinuous Residue and Theme in Higher-Order Semiotic: A Case for Interlocking Systems Ali Akbar Farahani, Yaser Hadidi University of Tehran The fallacy persists in discourse analysis research to explore lexicogrammatical phenomena detached from any adjacent plane of the meaning potential.
In an attempt to dispel this and toss out some preconceived notions about what a modern SFG vantage point should involve, this study homes in on one aspect of SFG within prose fiction in particular, which is very revealing in terms of how separate system networks are actually in synergistic simultaneity, and how SFG allows one , phenomenally well, to bring such synergies out, getting to the heart of the fact that language pervasively operates on multiple planes of textuality simultaneously.
Keywords: Discontinuous Residue, Theme, Higher-order semiotic, Systemic-Functional Grammar, Synergistic Simultaneity We are addressing ourselves to and have been stimulated by a part of Halliday‟s (Halliday and Matthiessen, 2004) discussion concerning the Mood ^ Residue structure, and the order of elements therein.
Here though, it suffices to register these textual devices and argue lucidly – along systemic lines – for the existence of a strong semantic and iconic force behind a given author‟s manifested deployment at the lexicogrammatical plane of, for instance, complement as Theme to express an ideational meaning which could have been perfectly expressed by less marked arrangement of participants in the clause.
