 note = {Finite adverbial subordinate clauses can be placed before their main clauses (preposed), in the middle of their main clauses, or after their main clauses (postposed). This study found that the positioning and punctuation of adverbials in argumentative essays is determined primarily by the semantic type of the finite adverbial subordinate clause. Temporal and Conditional adverbials have a prominent tendency to be preposed vis-à-vis their main clauses, and have a salient tendency to have subjects that are coreferential to the subjects of their main clauses when preposed. Causal adverbials have an extremely strong tendency to be postposed, and have a strong tendency to have non-coreferential subjects; that is, causal clauses tend to compare two different variables. Although neither concession adverbials nor manner adverbials seem to have a salient tendency to be preposed or postposed, it was found that concession adverbials are categorically less integrated with their main clauses, sometimes to the point of being completely detached from the main clause altogether.},
