The study of parthood relations between word meanings has an established tradition (Cruse 1986; Cruse 2011). By contrast, parthood relations in meaning/function-based representations of linguistic structures such as noun phrases and clauses have only been seriously investigated in the last couple of decades. This is especially true for the so-called ‘layered’ models of representation as employed in structural-functional theories of grammar (Butler 2003) like
