Doran, Martin & Herrington (2024: 200):
From an ideational perspective we are concerned with technicality – in particular the nature of more and less common-sense knowledge in discourse. Mukherjee (2022), in his popular science celebration of cell biology, introduces readers to seminal work on cell composition …
In doing so Mukharjee moves readers from common sense observations about differences between organisms and their substance to the uncommon sense understanding that the building blocks of all life are cells. From the perspective of field, he construes specialised composition.
Reviewer Comments:
[1] For the authors, 'technicality' is ideational meaning viewed from an ideational perspective. That is, 'technicality' is 'construing experience' viewed from the perspective of 'construing experience'. For SFL Theory, on the other hand, 'technicality' describes the ideational meaning construed of experience, misunderstood as field. The ideational perspective taken here is on language itself, not on ideational meaning.
[2] As previously explained, such composition hierarchies are not field, but construals of experience in the language that realises a field. The misunderstanding here is of stratification: confusing context and language
