Summary

Chapter 2 explores nominal group system and structure. In doing so, it concentrates on what in SFL is referred to as multivariate structure. Multivariate structures are structures involving a finite number of functions, each playing a distinct role. In this chapter we concentrate on developing multivariate structures for nominal groups in English, Spanish and Chinese.
