TY - JOUR TI - The Grammatical Phenomenon of Rankshift in Systemic Grammar PY - %2022/%11/%21 Y2 - %2025/%12/%22 JF - Al-Mansour Journal JA - مجلة المنصور VL - 19 IS - 1 LA - en KW - Rankshift KW - Hallidayan term KW - Systemic Grammar KW - functional grammar UR - https://journal.muc.edu.iq/journal/article/view/220 SP - 135-157 AB - The paper tries to explore the grammatical phenomenon of rankshift in Systemic Grammar, a functional grammar thatestablishes five units or the rank scale , : namely sentence, clause phrase, word and morpheme .Rankshift a Hallidayan term , occurswhen a given unit is downgraded or shifted down the rank scale and operates further down its rank or a rank equal to itself as when aclause which has to operate in sentence structure operates at q “ qualifier” in a nominal group.The paper , quite significantly, introduces the systemic background that enunciates the systemic theory whose organisingconcept system rather than structure. The paper then, grammatically explores rankshifted elements, successive rankshifting, degrees of rankshifting and types of rankshift .It ends with some concluding manifestations that serve to highlight the importance and necessity of this downgraded process.
