The aim of this study is to examine how expansion relations between clauses are realized in the short story “Runawa” by Alice Munro, using systemic functional grammar as the theoretical framework. The research findings show that of 252 clause complexes collected from the story, the highest frequency use of expansion is enhancement, aiming to provide necessary circumstantial information to the clauses. Extension is the second dominan type and elaboration is the least popular type. Besides using explicit conjunctive signals to link the clauses, implicit ones are also used, which sometimes cause challenges to identify the type of relations. The results help to confirm the application of SFG in text analysis to understand lexico-semantic relations between clauses. |
