Connectors
Os marcadores de discurso (discourse markers), ou conectores (connectors),
são as palavras que podem ser usadas para mostrar a relação entre
frases, ou parte de uma frase, expressando ideias (sentidos) como de
contraste, comparação, causa, efeito, ênfase e adição. Por exemplo:
• Podemos usar “and” para ligar duas frases, estabelecendo sentido de ADIÇÃO.
- There is a library. There is a restaurant.
- There is a library and a restaurant. (Não precisamos repetir o segundo “there is” quando ligamos as frases com “and” – e, em português)
•
Para listas de mais de dois elementos, usamos a VÍRGULA (comma) para
separar os elementos da lista, e “and” entre os dois últimos.
- There is a library, a store and a bakery.
