Verbal Not Behavioural

they	described	the new project	to the Board
Sayer	Process: verbal	Verbiage	Receiver

they	insulted	her	to her face
Sayer	Process: verbal	Target	Receiver

Viewed from 'roundabout', these are clear-cut verbal processes, since the configuration includes the verbal clause participants Verbiage, Receiver and Target.

Note that this is anomalously analysed as 'behavioural' in Deploying Functional Grammar (Martin, Matthiessen & Painter 2010: 125-6):

they	described	the new project	to the Board
Behaver	Process: behavioural	Verbiage	Receiver

they	insulted	her	to her face
Behaver	Process: behavioural	Target	Receiver

presumably on the assumption that the potential to project is a necessary condition of all verbal processes, ignoring the exceptional subtype of those that accept a Target.

Note that mixing transitivity functions this way — behavioural with verbal — complicates the model without adding any extra explanatory power, and compromises the valeur of the terms used for each configuration.
