Circumstantiation: Taking A Broader Look At Circumstantial Meanings, Shoshana J. Dreyfus, Isabelle Bennett

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

This paper argues for a view of circumstantial meaning as a region of ideational meaning that is instantiated across a range of lexicogrammatical structures: from the rank of the clausal constituent of circumstance in both directions: up to clause rank and down to below or within constituent rank (eg as Qualifier).

Mr Kelly suffered fatal head injuries after being king-hit in the face when walking down the street in Kings Cross, Sydney, in July 2012.
