Taken together, these posts highlight the importance of respecting levels of symbolic abstraction and the relations that hold between them. The series illustrates how theoretical integrity can be challenged by a combination of conceptual slippage, method, and community dynamics.
Understanding these processes is not merely an academic exercise: it is essential for anyone seeking to engage with SFL critically and productively. By maintaining clarity about stratification, instantiation, and the limits of relabelling, scholars can distinguish genuine theoretical innovation from novelty produced through misunderstanding, ensuring that future work builds upon a firm architectural foundation.
