Empiricism In Systemic Functional Linguistics

Russell (1961: 151):

This empiricist perspective is qualified still further in Systemic Functional Linguistics. Halliday & Matthiessen (1999: 609):
… what is being construed by the brain is not the environment as such, but the impact of that environment on the organism and the ongoing material and semiotic exchange between the two.
