The Four Sub-Classes Of Fact Noun


Halliday & Matthiessen (2014: 537, 536):
There are four sub-classes of fact noun: (1) cases, (2) chances, (3) proofs and (4) needs. The first three go with embedded projections [typo: propositions] whereas the last goes with embedded proposals; see Table 7-26 for examples of nouns.
