Focusing on probability profiles and systemic potentials, the study encompasses three stages and combines the strengths of two research methods ? the corpus-based approach and text-based analysis ? to examine the conjunctions under the theoretical framework of systemic functional linguistics and rhetorical structure theory. Starting with an overview of seventeen conjunctions across two corpora in terms of overall frequency, positional distribution and distribution of semantic categories, the book then offers a more detailed discussion of three individual conjunctions, highlighting the interconnections between 1) syntactic positions and co-occurrence patterns and 2) semantic relations encoded by these conjunctions. Lastly, it presents a case study of one full-length text taken from the learner corpus, applying rhetorical structure theory to provide new insights into the relevance of adversative and concessive relations to text structure. This comprehensive, in-depth analysis is both diagnostic and pedagogically informative. 606 $aLinguistics 606 $aComparative linguistics 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aLinguistics. 615 0$aComparative linguistics. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching. 676 $a410 700 $aZhang$b Yan$01086917 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484761303321 996 $aAdversative and concessive conjunctions in EFL writing$92845768 997 $aUNINA
