Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the concept of tracking participants in social discourse within the systemic functional framework. The first part of this paper presents the general principles of the theory involving the analysis of discourse. The second and the third part of this paper discusses the types of participants involved in this type of discourse and the methods of tracking them. In the second part we concentrate on identifying people, and in the third part on methods of identifying things, abstractions and institutions.
