2) If the contents of discourse or its part is organized with the help of description of the place of phenomena (processes, facts) in space, the semantic relations between corresponding propositions are called spatial order relations. For sports blogs it is vitally important where the action takes place. As a result, the author uses spatial pattern of organization. First of all, we need to know where the sportsperson is from, here the Netherlands-based Hassan, Sifan Hassan of the Netherland, Hassan, who moved to the Netherlands after leaving Ethiopia. Then the author states where the action takes place: Monaco, in Doha (at the world championships) (Huffpost 17/12/2019).
3) Propositions can be connected in discourse by the reference to the notion of time. Such class of semantic relations is called chronological order. The author tells the story in a blog devoted to technology in a chronological order using time expressions, such as late afternoon on May 12, 2017, hours earlier, hours after the disruption began, hours after it began on May 12, by 6:30 p.m., by 7 a.m., in August 2017.

In a statement to the AP, Microsoft said Friday it would offer continued Windows 7 security updates for a fee through 2023.... (Huffpost 14/07/2019).
4) Different groups of implication/causality relations include relations of the types `cause-effect' or `means-result'. In the article of the subgenre of technology the author first describes the situation: Huawei was placed on the Commerce Department's Entity List, the Chinese telecom equipment and smartphone giant will be able to do business with American suppliers again - but only if they get a license from the U.S. government. After this the author describes the consequences: the promise created confusion about how it would be carried out, Huawei...is a major bargaining chip in the ongoing trade war between the U.S. and China. The author also states the consequences of the opposite action, such as being blacklisted. Such consequences are the following: The blacklist has had a major impact on
