Misconstruing A Mood Adjunct (Temporality) As A Continuity Item [3]

Martin (1992: 230-1):

[4:164] CONJUNCTION Ben left early.

                                 Yet he felt a little tired. 

            CONTINUITY    Ben has left;

                                 But Flo hasn't yet arrived.

Blogger Comment:

The function of yet here is interpersonal: a mood Adjunct of temporality, and so it does not mark a continuity relation with the previous message.
