The Beginning Of Time Through Systemic Functional Linguistics

Hawking (1988: 46):
As far as we are concerned, events before the big bang can have no consequences, so they should not form part of a scientific model of the universe. We should therefore cut them out of the model and say that time had a beginning at the big bang.

From the perspective of Systemic Functional Linguistic Theory, time is construed in physics as the dimension along which processes unfold.  As such, it is not time that begins with the Big Bang, but the processes used to measure time.
