Adjuncts – When an adverb is nicely integrated into a sentence. For example: Slowly they walked back home. He spoke to me about it briefly. Subjuncts – Expresses a condition or hypothesis and it can make other clause elements more intense or diminish the weight. For example: We haven’t yet finished. Would you kindly wait for me. Disjuncts – A disjunct frequently acts as a kind of evaluation of the rest of the sentence. Although it usually modifies the verb, we could say that it modifies the entire clause, too. For example: Frankly, I’m tired. Fortunately, no one complained. Conjuncts – Serve a connector function within the flow of the text, signalling a transition between ideas.
