| Citazioni | CONJUNCTIVE ADJUNCTS are those which relate the clause to the preceding text. (They are alternatively known as ʻdiscourse Adjunctsʼ). Conjunctive Adjunct tend to occur at points in the clause which are significant for textual organization, which means at some boundary or other: (i) clause initial, as (part of) the textual theme; (ii) clause final, as afterthought; (iii) between Theme and Rheme; (iv) between Mood and Residue. Examples:
(i) However, such men don’t make good husbands.
(ii) Such men don’t make good husbands, however.
(iii) Such men, however, don’t make good husbands.
(iv) Such men don’t, however, make good husbands.
[…] Conjunctive Adjuncts are outside the Mood – Residue organization; they have no function in the clause as exchange. |
