I've been thinking about the "flatness" of the SFG
constituency analysis in contrast to that of word-class analyses.
Specifically, I've wondered what the "non-flatness" of the
word-class analysis signifies? Is there a heirarchy of forms
implied? Or is it just parts in different relations to one another?

SFG actually offers a 'flat' analysis in three dimensions
(for the different "meta-functions").

Just wondering...
