Doran, Martin & Zappavigna (2025: 127):
This concludes our discussion of ORIENTING RESOURCES. As we have seen, they are fundamental to organising sets of positions into coherent frameworks, and function to realise a number of more interpersonally-oriented genres.
ChatGPT Comments:
The conclusion overstates the fundamentality of ORIENTING without accounting for genre variation, risking theoretical inflation. More significantly, no system network for ORIENTING is presented. By speaking of “orienting resources” — misleadingly in upper case, as though it were a system — rather than an “orienting system,” the authors sidestep the systemic requirements of SFL theory, leaving the construct theoretically underspecified.
