Connectors CONNECTORS ADDRESS
1. Introduction
Connectors are discourse markers that linking semantic and pragmatic discourse element with another item above, or with easily accessible contextual assumption. They
function explicitly indicate which direction to go chaining different sentence fragments of the text to help the receiver of a text by guiding you through the process of interpretation. Often used the analogy of comparing the discourse markers with traffic signs road traffic. So, understand that the connectors are signs that the issuer is distributing over his speech for the recipient to follow the interpretive path path without effort or difficulty In what As the connectors are needed? Given the joint structuring and discourse markers, it seems logical that a text presented better internal coordination, greater cohesion among the different parties and more clearly when the wording contained in these expressions connectives. Indicate what are the semantic relations that hold together the set, and what the structure of the text. However, note that this is so long as proper use of the connectors, and even, in some cases, the use of these units is not necessary (for example, in drafting the text of an informal)
.2. Properties grammatical connectors
Not all discourse markers show the same properties intonation, grammar and syntax in prayer and in the text.
According to grammatical criteria, the connectors can be divided into two groups:
Parentheticals : connectors are called parenthetical those who are between pauses (in the text written between commas or pauses strongly semicolon point-and comma). The fact that in themselves constitute an independent unit with great independence explains syntax in the sentence.
A common feature of all these connectors is usually combined with conjugated verbs in the indicative. In this first group are connected sequences such as: however, therefore, even so, anyway, in this case or in consequence. Integrated
in prayer are among those who will not pause and have a subordinating element in their formation. This type of connector does not have the same capacity as the previous mobility and also in some cases combined with the indicative and in others, with the subjunctive. A grammatical feature to bear in mind is that, when the expression contains connective subordinating conjunction that must necessarily be followed by a sentence and, therefore, in the sequence that follows a verb should appear. In contrast, when the connector only has a preposition, not the nexus, then the connector will be followed by a noun phrase or an infinitive when the two sentences related with the same subject.
3. Types of connectors
In this section, we focus on the connector types of written language features planned.
use is clearly not the same type of connectors when we talk when we write, and perform a different use of these expressions connectives depending on the type of text that we are developing.
is for this reason that the use of connectors is especially important in expository text type and argumentative, rather than the narrative or descriptive.
As discussed above, the basic function of the argumentative-expository texts is to present a range of information in a reasonable and convincing, to lead the reader to the conclusions of interest.
It is therefore essential to link the sentences together.
In this text, it is also very important to show how elements are linked within a series, and point out what the structure of the exhibition. To carry out these operations are essential to provide clear indications of discourse markers. Within the typology of discourse markers used in the academic literature we can distinguish two main groups:
* From idea
*
contrargumentation
From idea
* Consecutive
* Additives * contrargumentation
Connectors
is
additives divide into two groups
• Connectors introducing a new aspect or point of issue is being addressed but worthless from an argumentative point of view. Also, also, the same / just as / way, shape, moreover, etc.
• Connectors introducing a new aspect of the topic information, presenting it as stronger, from the point of view argue that the above aspects. In addition, above, is, moreover, even, even, etc..
contrargumentation
connectors can be classified nature of opposition in three subgroups: Subgroup 1
•
: connective expressions as though, in spite of (that), even (that) and while (although the is the prototypical connector). Notably, these connectors introduce arguments "weak."
Example: Although a bit late, try to find tickets.
• Subgroup 2: connectors like but, nevertheless, however, yet de todas formas, con todo, ahora bien, etc. (grupo del que pero es el representante paradigmático). Este tipo de conectores introducen argumentos "fuertes".
Ej: Quería ir a la playa pero se puso a llover.
• Subgrupo 3: conectores tales como mientras que, en cambio y por el contrario, que "corrigen" en el segundo elemento algún aspecto de lo formulado en el primero.
Ej.: Parecía que iba a hacer buen tiempo, en cambio, llovió todo el fin de semana.
Al hablar de los subgrupos 1 y 2 observamos que se alude a argumentos "débiles" y argumentos "fuertes". Esta distinción hace referencia a las informaciones que tienen más peso dentro de la oración.
On the one hand, we find the connectors of the type though. Despite an objection that point, it does not become strong enough to prevent compliance expressed by the main clause.
is why we say that the connectors of the subgroup 1 introduce weak arguments. On the other hand, we note that sub connectors 2 introduce an issue or problem "strong", ie, introduce an argument that carries more weight than others. Connectors
consecutive consecutive connectors feature indicate the conclusion follows from the previous information. To see its value, it must be based on analysis of relations of cause and consequence. The prayers known as "causal", and traditionally known as "straight" agree to present a cause-consequence relationship between the information attached.
Ex:
a) As I do not know where you live, I can not go looking for him.
b) Do not know where you live, so I can not pass for him.
In both sentences, the text sequences involved maintain an identical semantic connection, based on the fact that a party is presented as the cause that triggers the result expressed in the other textual segment. However, if both the causal and the consecutive sentences are characterized by the same type of relationship logical semantics between the parties what is the difference between the two buildings?
The feature that allows us to identify a structure as "causal" or as "straight" is that aspect of this relationship focuses, indicated by the presence of the connector.
We therefore consider that the causal structures are those that affect what the cause or premise that leads to a conclusion and the conclusion highlights the row.
is particularly productive for the operation argumentative show the use of connectors in a row.
These elements set out and prove how from a premise it concludes.
Consecutive connective expressions can be divided into two groups:
consecutive Connectors "built in prayer" (having in training the conjunction) so, so / so, so, there (that) .
consecutive connectors type "parenthetical" so / so, for this / that / the reason / reason / cause, (it) so therefore therefore therefore therefore therefore. Looking at the connectors
consecutive "integrated in the sentence", we note that so, so and so are less formal and therefore such accordingly. In contrast, the other connectors (So, so / so and hence) belong to the standard log.
