I like January.

Three clauses above are the examples. The first clause shows it is able to reverse. It reflects relational process in transitivity. It's relational: identification process.

Unlike the first, the second clause is relational: attributive process which cannot be reversed. The third shows mental process when involving sense as reflected in the word "like".

Janus

Etymologically, the word "January" is derived from old French "Janvier" expressed in early 12th century. It ran its development when the word was said "Ieneuer" in the late of 13 century from Old North French "Genever". Its root was from Roman Empire. It was Janus, the first Roman month and sacred as the beginning of the year.

It has been declared as the first month of Gregorian calendar which is commonly used by most people in the world. How do we pronounce it?

The word “January” is pronounced by four consonant and vowel phones. Completely, it is pronounced /ˈdʒæn.jʊe  .ri/ . The consonants are [dʒ], [n], [j], and [r]. The vowels are [æ], [ʊ], [e], and [i]. Double vowel sound appears on [ʊe] making it called as diphthong. The pronunciation is divided into three pitches and the stress with highest sound range is felt on the first than others. The similarity shows that every pitch has consonant and vowel sounds.

 That’s all I have. There will be more if we want to explore.

Your presence on this site is not useless.

Although this work is really.. and extremely SIMPLE, you will realize that :

THIS MONTH, WE HAVE LEARNT THREE POINTS: TRANSITIVITY (on Functional Grammar), LEXICOGRAPHY (with etymology), and PRONUNCIATION.
