Multivariate Structure

Halliday & Matthiessen (2014: 451):
A multivariate structure is a configuration of different functional relationshipslike Theme + Rheme, Mood + Residue + Moodtag, or Actor + Process + Recipient + Goal.  Note that, although it is the functions that are labelled, the structure actually consists of the relationships among them.
