Presentational, Orientational, and Organizational Meaning

How do ideational, world-representational (Presentational); social-interactional, attitudinal (Orientational); and cohesive, structural (Organizational) meaning dimensions of signs-in-use integrate with and mutual contextualize one another? How does this occur (ideally) within a single semiotic resources system (e.g. language, gesture, depiction) and (actually) among multiple co-deployed semiotic systems? What are the genre conventions in different situated-use activities for such relations?
