- Summary:
-
Traditional studies of contrastive connectives (for example "yet,""in contrast,""however,""nevertheless," and "on the other hand") emphasized the logical relationship expressed by these connectives as they connect two sections of text. In harmony with this approach, constrastive connectives are often presented to students of English as a second language as expressing similar logical relationships between one sentence and another in simple sequences of two sentences. In this paper, the differing conditions are characterized which determine the appropriateness of a number of connectives marking a particular kind of contrast called "dissonance." Some ways are suggested in which these connectives cannot be understood without taking into consideration the discourse contexts in which they appear. (Author)
