This document discusses experiential meta-functions which are used to encode experiences. There are three main types: doing, projecting, and being. Doing describes external actions, projecting describes internal thoughts and feelings, and being describes states of existence. Within these types are subcategories like material, behavioral, mental, verbal, existential, and relational processes. Each process involves participants and can be used to construct clauses that describe who did what to whom and in what circumstances. Examples are provided to illustrate the different processes and participant roles.

2. Experiential Meta-function:
• To encode your expressions.
• Experience can be encoded by 3 things:
Things
Events (Code category) (verbal group etc.)
Circumstances
• Process is core primary part of clause.
• What does what to whom under what circumstances?

3. Possibilities:
• Participant + Process + Circumstances
• Participant + Process
• Participant + Process + Participant
• Participant + Process + Projected clause
• Participant + Process + Participant + Projected Clause
• Process

4. Types:
Doing – They describe the expression/ action in outside the brain.
Projecting – Whatever happens inside the brain .e.g. thinking etc.
Being – They just describe the ‘being words’.
Doing Material Behavioral
Projecting Mental Verbal
Being Existential Relational

5. Material:
Used to encode the experiences in external material world.
Participants
• Actor  Doer of action
• Goal  Thing affected by the process
• Range  Thing unaffected by the process
• Beneficiary  For whom the action is taken
Recipient  The one who receive s the outcome of action
Client  The one, for whom the action is done.

6. Examples:
He goes to market.
The house was on fire.
She smelled the roses.
I wrote a letter to a friend.
He goes To market
Actor Process: Material Goal
The house was On fire
Actor Process: Material Circumstance
She Smelled The roses
Actor Process: Material Range
I wrote A letter To a friend
Actor Process: Material Goal Beneficiary:
Recipient

7. Behavioral:
To encode physical and psychological behavior.
Its is a bridge between material and mental.
Participants:
• Behaver  Doer of action
• Behavior  Compliment

8. Examples:
Tayyaba slept in the class.
She cried bitterly.
Tayyaba slept In the class
Behaver Process: Behavioral Circumstance
She cried bitterly
Behaver Process: Behavioral Behavior

9. Mental:
To encode the experiences of inner world of consciousness.
Participants:
• Sensor  Does of Action
• Phenomenon  which explain process

10. Examples:
Hania knows the answer.
I know what you are talking about.
Hania knows The answer
Sensor Process: Mental Phenomenon
I know What you are talking
about
Sensor Process: Mental Phenomenon

11. Verbal:
To bring inner world outside.
Participants:
• Sayer  Doer of action
• Receiver  Addressee of speech
• Target  Object of the talk
• Verbiage  Equal to phenomenon, what is said

12. Examples:
She said what she had to say.
‘’What are you doing?’’, I asked him.
I appreciate your intelligence.
She said What she had to say
Sayer Process: Verbal Verbiage
‘’what are you
doing?’’
I asked him
Verbiage Sayer Process: Verbal Receiver
I appreciate Your intelligence
Sayer Process: Verbal Target

13. Existential:
To set up the existence of something.
Participants:
Existent  Existing object

14. Examples:
It is a laptop.
There is a room in the corner.
is A laptop
Process: Existential Existent
is A room In the corner
Process: Existential Existent Circumstance

15. Relational:
To develop a relationship between two participants.
Participants:
Relational Attributive Process  Relates a participant to its attributes
Carrier  who carries the attributes
Attribute  They will be indefinite
Relational Identifying Process  Relates a participant to its identity
Identified  who is being identified
Identifier  The identity will be identified
It allows to take a function and have to identify the form.
Token  form
Value  Function

16. Examples:
She remains silent.
The room on the right is your office.
The red light represents stop.
she remains silent
Carrier Process: R.A.P Attribute
The room on the right is Your office
Identifier Process: R.I.P Identified
The red light represents stop
Token Process: R.I.P Value
