Halliday & Matthiessen (2004: 593):
For example, the expanding relation of
‘addition’ may be realised
(1) cohesively by a conjunction such as also or
(2) structurally by
(a) an
additive paratactic clause complex marked by the structural conjunction and,
(b) a circumstance of accompaniment
marked by the preposition with or
(c)
an additive paratactic group complex marked by and … .
These
realisational variants are distinct in the grammar, since they constitute
different grammatical environments; but they are semantically agnate in that
they all have the feature of ‘addition’. … One semantic system, the system of expansion, has thus evolved to bring together patterns of wording within
grammatically distinct units, thereby extending its overall meaning potential.
