Discontinuous Residue and Theme in Higher-Order Semiotic: A Case for Interlocking Systems
Authors
Abstract:
The fallacy persists in discourse analysis research to explore lexicogrammatical phenomena detached from any adjacent plane of the meaning potential. In an attempt to dispel this and toss out some preconceived notions about what a modern SFG vantage point should involve, this study homes in on one aspect of SFG within prose fiction in particular, which is very revealing in terms of how separate system networks are actually in synergistic simultaneity, and how SFG allows one , phenomenally well, to bring such synergies out, getting to the heart of the fact that language pervasively operates on multiple planes of textuality simultaneously. Thus, building upon Halliday’s 2004 work, the quest is if it is interpersonally significant when the Residue is split into two parts; more importantly, if it is also laced with some lexicogrammatical quality on the textual plane, in light of the fairly well-entrenched assumption that there is always Theme at work when the Residue is split. Halliday is the only scholar to touch upon the topic of Discontinuous Residue and its relationship to Marked Theme in the culmination of his groundbreaking career, i.e. his 2004 work. Having driven home the proposal to make into a watchword the ubiquity of interlocking macro-semantic system networks, some pedagogical and research implications and suggestions flowing from this are brought up.

this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...
A Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Higher-order Differential Equations
In this paper we propose a new discontinuous finite element method for higher-order initial value problems where the finite element solution exhibits an optimal O(∆tp+1) convergence rate in the L2 norm. We further show that the p-degree discontinuous solution of differential equation of order m and its first m−1 derivatives are O(∆t2p+2−m) superconvergent at the end of each step. We also establ...

We propose new discontinuous finite element methods that can be applied to one-dimensional elliptic problems with discontinuous coefficients. These methods are based on a class of higher degree immersed finite element spaces and can be used with a mesh independent of the location of coefficient discontinuity. Numerical experiments are presented to show that these methods can achieve optimal con...
full textHigher order discontinuous Galerkin method for acoustic pulse problem
We discuss the methodology of the validation of a higher order discontinuous Galerkin scheme for acoustic computations. That includes an accurate definition of the exact solution in the problem as well as careful study of convergence properties of a DG scheme for a chosen acoustic problem. The efficiency of a higher order scheme will be confirmed for computations on coarse meshes.

Aerodynamic flows involve features with a wide range of spatial and temporal scales which need to be resolved in order to accurately predict desired engineering quantities. While computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has advanced considerably in the past 30 years, the desire to perform more complex, higher-fidelity simulations remains. Present day CFD simulations are limited by the lack of an effi...
