Again, this misrepresents SFL methodology. Again Martin constructs a system on the basis of how it is realised structurally. This is giving priority to the view 'from below', instead of the view 'from above'. Again, he explicitly distinguishes mood types on the basis of their structural realisations instead of in terms of the speech functions they congruently realise.
