Each of the variables of register is associated with a strand of meaning. These strands,
which together form the discourse semantics of a text, are the three metafunctions: ideational, interpersonal and textual. The metafunctions are constructed or realized by the lexicogrammar, that is the choices of wording and syntactic structure. The links are broadly as follows (see Eggins 2004: 78):
The TENOR of a text is associated with interpersonal міжособистісний, meaning, which is realized through the patterns of modality (modal verbs and adverbs such as hopefully, should, possibly, and any evaluative lexis such as beautiful, dreadful).
The FIELD of a text is associated with ideational уявний meaning, which is realized through transitivity patterns (verb types, active/passive structures, participants in the process, etc.).
The MODE of a text is associated with textual meaning, which is realized through the thematic and information structures (mainly the order and structuring of elements in a clause) and cohesion (the way the text hangs together lexically, including the use of pronouns, ellipsis, collocation, repetition, etc.).
