The Crucial Separation Of System From Structure

Martin & Zappavigna (2019: 3):
Another advantage of SFL is the clear distinction it draws between paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations (system vs structure in SFL terminology). … Systematically separating system from structure is crucial when comparing and contrasting modalities.

This is misleading.  Having cited the axial distinction in SFL as crucial, the authors provide no system networks and identify no structural units or elements of structure for sonovergent and semovergent paralanguage.
