The frequency and placement patterns of the markers are analysed using large corpora of texts from two written registers: newspaper editorials and research articles. The corpus study revisits the long-standing but largely unsubstantiated claim that French requires more explicit markers of cohesive conjunction than English and shows that the opposite is in fact the case. Novel insights into the placement preferences of English and French conjunctive markers are provided by a new approach to theme and rheme that attaches more importance to the rheme than previous studies. The study demonstrates the significant benefits of a combined corpus and Systemic Functional Linguistics approach to the cross-linguistic analysis of cohesion"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aStudies in Corpus Linguistics 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xConjunctions 606 $aCorpora (Linguistics) 606 $aSystemic grammar 606 $aEnglish language$xGrammar, Comparative$xFrench 606 $aFrench language$xGrammar, Comparative$xEnglish 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xConjunctions. 615 0$aCorpora (Linguistics) 615 0$aSystemic grammar. 615 0$aEnglish language$xGrammar, Comparative$xFrench. 615 0$aFrench language$xGrammar, Comparative$xEnglish. 676 $a415 700 $aDupont$b Mai?te?$0842992 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821362603321 996 $aConjunctive markers of contrast in English and French$91881135 997 $aUNINA
