‘Halliday's investigation sin to grammatical metaphor take us deeplyi nto the way we construct and expand meanings, starting with representations of concrete experience devents and ending with the oretical worlds populated by abstract entities linked through generalized relations and causalities. He finds these processes most strikingly in the development of the modern sciences that have historically created rob Ustvirtual worlds of theory from observable material events. But these esthese same process esinall the meaning systems of modern life, whether law, bureaucracy, economicsorarts. He sees the same processes of grammatical metaphor as children learn to participate in our built symbolic environment, particularly as they are introduced to these meaning systems in schools, an institution designed expressly for that purpose.'
