Carrier

Process: relational
|
Attribute: circumstantial
|
Note that this is relational, not material:
- Viewed from above, it means 'we are in the same city' (being-&-having), not 'we do in the same city' (doing-&-happening).
- Viewed from roundabout, the unmarked present tense is the simple present, not the present-in-present; if a material Process, the simple present would be the marked option, additionally realising the meaning 'habitual', as in we work in the same city (cf. the unmarked we're working in the same city).
