Can non-native speakers of English use contrastive discourse markers correctly when writing academic tetxs?
Original language description
Contrastive relations between segments of discourse play a crucial role when building coherence relations in academic discourse. Since they are regarded as the most complex of all semantic relations that may hold between parts of a discourse, an appropriate knowledge of discourse markers expressing contrast/concession becomes important part of learners knowledge, in particular at university level. The author investigates a corpus of diploma theses written by students of English with the aim of finding out whether the use of DMs expressing contrastive relations by non-native speakers differs from the writing habits of experienced native users of English.
