This may in part be due to difficulties in differentiating it from Concession. However, there are occurrences of it. Here is an example:</div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;"><br></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;">1)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>...anxious individuals seek out and rely more heavily on advice,</div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;">2)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>even when the advice is obviously bad,</div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;">3)<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>because they do not feel confident in their own ability to make good judgments</div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;"><br></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="margin: 0px;">In this example, the structure is concessive, but the intended effect is to elaborate the extent to which anxious individual will go when seeking advice, not to increase the reader’s positive regard for the anxious individual’s behavior. </div><div><br></div></div><div id="bloop_sign_1521739565883956992" class="bloop_sign"><div style="font-family: helvetica, arial;"> Andrew</div></div></div> <div id="bloop_sign_1521739771451118080" class="bloop_sign"><div style="font-family:helvetica,arial;font-size:13px"><br></div></div> <br><p class="airmail_on">On March 15, 2018 at 10:57:29 PM, Potter, Andrew Nelson (<a href="mailto:apotter1@una.edu">apotter1@una.edu</a>) wrote:</p> <blockquote type="cite" class="clean_bq"><span><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;"><div></div><div>

<div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;">
I am looking for examples of the Unconditional relation.</div>
<div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;">
<br></div>
<div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;">
The relation seems to be closely related to Concession, and
everything I’ve found so far seems to tilt more closely to
Concession than Unconditional, even the example given on the RST
Website, I believe.</div>

If you have any you could share to the list, maybe others would be
interested too.</div>
