Contrastive relations between segments of discourse play a crucial role when building coherence relations in academic discourse, including written discourse produced by non-native speakers of English. Since these relations are regarded as “the most complex of all semantic relations that may hold between parts of a discourse” (Kortmann, 1991:161), an appropriate knowledge of discourse markers (DMs) expressing contrast/concession becomes important part of learners’ knowledge, in particular at advanced levels such as 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. In addition, she aims at showing differences in the preferences of diploma-thesis writers by field of study – linguistics, literature and ELT methodology.
Can Non-Native Speakers of English Use Contrastive Discourse Markers Correctly When Writing Academic Texts?
