Misrepresenting Verbal Clauses

Martin, Matthiessen & Painter (2010: 118):
But on the one hand, a mental projection is an idea, whereas a verbal one is a locution, and on the other hand, while all verbal clauses can project, only certain mental ones can (namely, cognitive ones and certain affective ones).

To be clear, 'certain affective' here means 'desiderative', and though all verbal clauses can quote, those that include a Target do not easily report (Halliday & Matthiessen 2014: 307).
