The Thoughts Of Kant Through Systemic Functional Linguistics [1]

Russell (1961: 679):

Kant's most important book is The Critique of Pure Reason.  The purpose of this work is to prove that, although none of our knowledge can transcend experience, it is, nevertheless, in part a priori and not inferred inductively from experience.  The part of our knowledge which is a priori embraces, according to him, not only logic, but much that cannot be included in logic or deduced from it.

From the perspective of Systemic Functional linguistic theory, all ideational meaning — including a priori knowledge — is a construal of experience as meaning.  Kant's a priori knowledge derives from bringing to consciousness — as mental or verbal instances of registers — those relations that are inherent in the meaning construed of experience.
