  1. Mood and Residue continued…….

  2. Modal Adjuncts He was lying on his back Subject Finite Predicator Adjunct Mood Block Residue

  3. Sometimes, there are ‘extra items’ between the subject and the finite. E.g: He was always lying on his back How do you categorise ‘always’

  4. The ‘extras’ are called Modal Adjuncts. These are commonly: • Conjunctive adjuncts • Comment adjuncts • Mood adjuncts

  5. Conjunctive adjuncts (sometimes called ‘discourse markers’) signal how a clause fits in with preceding text. • For example:

  6. Conjunctive Adjunct The punctuation, on the other hand, is reproduced faithfully Subject (adjunct) finite predicator adjunct Mo- -od Block Residue

  7. Comment adjuncts typically comment on the clause as a whole. • For example:

  8. Comment adjunct Unfortunately, this tendency has declined since 1970 Adjunct subjectfinitepredicator Adjunct M o o d b l o c k Residue

  9. This tendency has, unfortunately, declined since 1970 subjectfinite adjunct predicator adjunct M o o d b l o c k Residue

  10. Mood adjuncts are related to the finite: express meanings associated with tense, polarity and modality. • For example:

  11. The beams are obviously going to have to be replaced Subject F adjunct P Mood block Residue I would hardly say that S F adjunct P Complement Mood block Residue
