The Thoughts Of Hobbes In Systemic Functional Linguistics [2]

Russell (1961: 533):
Sensations are caused by the pressure of objects; colours, sounds, etc., are not in the objects.  The qualities in objects that correspond to our sensations are motions.

 Halliday & Matthiessen (1999: 609):

… what is being construed by the brain is not the environment as such, but the impact of that environment on the organism and the ongoing material and semiotic exchange between the two.
On the other hand, on the SFL model, objects are construals of experience to which qualities are assigned.
