Cosmogonic Myth Through Systemic Functional Linguistics [6]

Genesis (1:6):

6. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistic theory, this symbolism from Abrahamic mythology can be interpreted as further construing the genesis of construing experience as meaning through language.

Here again the creator of meaning verbally projects a proposal for a phenomenon to exist:

And God said	Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters	and let it divide the waters from the waters
1	" 2
	1	+ 2

let	there	be	firmament	in the midst of the waters
2
Process:		existential	Existent	Location

That is to say, the phenomena of experience are again construed as linguistic construals of experience, made by the creator of meaning.
