Abstract | ||
This study aims at an itemized investigation of the meaning-making potentialities through various contexts. Text-based grammar reflects the patternized linguistic systems that construe the world of experience through verbal, mental, behavioural, material and existential process types (Halliday, 2014, pp. 214-216). The patternized grammar of the world experience constructs meaning-making experience construal. The data consists of the refugees' press releases' text-archiving from three News Agencies. Press releases represent a transparent/mediated-political discourse channel between the political regimes and the public. The results show; 1) the 'materialistic' meaning making through the grammar of the refugees' press releases; 2) the three agencies' thematized global coherence beyond the 'press releases' raised stories; 3) the press releases' a/symmetric meaning relations activate the world Communicative Presumption/CP; 4) constructing world 'social context' through the grammar of the 'world of experience'; 5) the raised meaning potentialities are mostly identified through 'tenor' where the interpersonal relations are determined though the registered variations. | ||
