such as alright, well and OK to give a signal in the beginning of the clause for the reader. For example:
8 Alright, I understand about your problem
The continuative Alright is the signal for the reader that the speaker starts the speaking and to continue the first word to the next word.
2.5.3 Interpersonal Theme
Gerot and Wignell 1994: 107 argue that interpersonal occurs in the starting of the clause conducting as modal adjunct and vocative, and it comes
before topical theme. For example of modal adjunct: 9
Perhaps the participant is tired to walk From the example 10 above, modal adjunct in the clause is Perhaps since it
explains the probability of the event, and the group the participant is the topical theme.
According to Gerot and Wignell 1994:107, vocative functions to address someone such as use a name or nickname before topical theme, but it still include
to the theme. For example: 10
Luna, You have to join with us in this tour The word Luna is a vocative since the speaker wants to address someone that
called the name Luna in the context. It presents before topical theme You since it is an actor for the clause.
