This foreshadows the misleading misunderstandings to appear in Chapter 2. For example, the realisations specified in Martin's PERSON systems are grammatical items (I, thou, he etc.) that may realise a function (e.g. Thing as Subject), not structures. A structure is the relationships among functions. Halliday & Matthiessen (2014: 451):
Note that, although it is the functions that are labelled, the structure actually consists of the relationships among them.
