Some Thoughts on a New Systematization of Interclausal Semantic Relations

1. Introduction In this paper, I wish to explore some possibilities of systematizing the interclausal semantic relations posited in RRG. While the theory has developed in many significant respects since Foley and Van Valin (1984, hence FVV), this area appears to have undergone very little revision (one notable exception being Van Valin and Wilkins 1993). As such, this paper will be necessarily speculative and programmatic, but is hoped to outline some productive directions of inquiry.
