Martin & Rose (2007: 142):
We have actually discussed several of these already, without explicitly distinguishing them from conjunctions. We met the continuative also in Tutu’s exposition:
The Act required that the application should be dealt with in a public hearing … It is also not true that the granting of amnesty encourages impunity … because amnesty is only given to those who plead guilty ...
The kind of logical relation expressed by this continuative is addition.

To be clear, in SFL Theory, in this instance, also serves as a conjunctive Adjunct, not a continuative, and marks the textually cohesive relation of positive addition; see Halliday & Matthiessen (2014: 613).
