This is misleading, because it is untrue. Halliday's concept of rank was first published in Categories of a Theory of Grammar (Halliday 1961), five years before his first publication on system networks, Some Notes On 'Deep' Grammar (Halliday 1966), and nine years before the first publication on metafunctions, Language Structure and Language Function (Halliday 1970).
The rhetorical function of this misrepresentation is to support Martin's claim in this monograph that "axial relations" are 'foundational'.
