The findings showed the existences of the visual representational meaning and the ideational meaning of the texts. They had the same participants and processes. However, not all clauses on the texts had the same participants. There were only several clauses that had the same participants with the figures. It meant visual representational meaning only could visualize the description of the same participants or visualize the narration of the same processes.
