Definition
the way that the meaning or semantic content is 'packaged' for communication in discourse. Example: the property concept huge can be presented or packaged as a predication asserted of an object (That tree is huge!), or it can be used to modify or add information about an object (that huge tree over there). (Sections 1.1, 1.3)
