TY - CONF ID - 903645 AU - Povolná, Renata PY - 2010 TI - Causal and Contrastive Discourse Markers in Learner Discourse KW - learner discourse - novice academic writing - causal discourse markers - contrastive discourse markers - cohesion - coherence N2 - The author investigates discourse markers expressing causal and contrastive relations between successive or more distant segments of discourse. By signalling how the writer intends the current segment that follows to relate to the previous discourse these markers contribute to both cohesion and coherence. While analysing a corpus of diploma theses written by Czech students of English the author attempts to find out whether non-native speakers use the selected markers differently from experienced native speakers of English and whether there are differences in the preferences of diploma-thesis writers by field of study – linguistics, literature and culture, and ELT methodology.
