Halliday & Matthiessen (2004: 294):
[In the like [‘emanating’] type of mental
process] the Phenomenon bears no kind of resemblance to a Goal. But it does show certain affinities with the
Scope. It figures as Subject, in the
‘receptive’, under similarly restricted conditions; and it appears in
expressions, such as enjoy the pleasure,
saw the sight, have an understanding of, which are analogous to material
Scope expressions of the ‘process’ type, such as play a game, have a game. So
we can interpret the rôle of the Phenomenon in the like type of mental process as a counterpart of that of Scope in
the material; it is the element which delimits the boundaries of the sensing.
