Theoretical Problems With The System Of Internal Conjunction

Martin & Rose (2007: 140-1):

The full system for internal conjunction is displayed as Table 4.6.

To be clear, this a taxonomy, presented as a table, rather than a system. It lacks, for example, both an entry condition and realisation statements that specify how the features are realised structurally.
