Martin & Rose (2007: 137):
Options for internal comparison are summed up in Figure 4.6.

As demonstrated in the previous five posts, the authors' system of internal comparison is a confusion of genuine comparison ('similar: compare'), various subtypes of elaboration ('similar: reformulate') — confused with subtypes of modal assessment in the exposition — and various types of extension ('different'), all of which are Halliday's grammatical systems of cohesive conjunction (textual) and clause complexing (logical), not distinguished, and rebranded as Martin's logical discourse semantic systems.
A further consequence of misunderstanding grammatical systems and misrepresenting them as discourse semantic systems is that it creates an incongruent relation ("interstratal tension") between semantics and grammar even in the absence of grammatical metaphor, thereby undermining the notion of grammatical metaphor as an incongruent relation between strata.
