This study explores the dialogic functions of five English connectives, namely indeed, in fact, in point offact, in actual fact, as a matter offact. I will try to demonstrate that these functions are mainly argumentative functions, since most dialogues can be seen as structured in terms of argumentative units, and that connectives are the ultimate organizers of argumentation.

Abstract
This study explores the dialogic functions of five English connectives, namely indeed, in fact, in point offact, in actual fact, as a matter offact. I will try to demonstrate that these functions are mainly argumentative functions, since most dialogues can be seen as structured in terms of argumentative units, and that connectives are the ultimate organizers of argumentation.File in questo prodotto:
