Procedural explanations

Procedural explanations concentrate on the processes, events and temporal structures associated with objects, structures and relations, and on the procedures and algorithms which define these:

• PRODUCTION: planning formulation realisation
• RECEPTION: recognition parsing integration
• GRAMMATICALISATION: rankshift downwards (e.g. beside -- a historical process)
• LEXICALISATION: idiomatisation, partial compositionality of realisation, structure, meaning (a historical process)
