Adversative and Concessive Conjunctions in EFL Writing

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the usage patterns of adversative and concessive conjunctions, this study compares English texts by Chinese EFL learners with those of native speakers. It employs a corpus-based approach alongside text-based analysis, framed by systemic functional linguistics and rhetorical structure theory. The book begins with an overview of conjunctions' frequency and distribution, followed by an in-depth examination of three specific conjunctions, and concludes with a case study that sheds light on the relationship between conjunctions and text structure.
