David Rose Negatively Judging Michael Halliday And Positively Judging Jim Martin And Himself

David Rose wrote to sysfling on 24 March 2018 at 07:30:

It is a loose definition [in Cohesion In English (Halliday & Hasan 1976)] as collocation is an intuitive category, that Halliday took from Firth but did not develop. It was re-conceptualised and systemically described by Martin 1992 as ideational discourse semantics, specifically the taxonomic lexical relations of repetition, synonymy, contrast, hyponymy and meronymy.

A full account, including history of collocation, is in Ch 5 in
