<http://www.benjamins.com/cgi-bin/cart.cgi?t=u&copies=1&edition=0&bookid=P%26bns%20161>This 
set of eleven articles, by linguists from four different European 
countries and a variety of theoretical backgrounds, takes a new look 
at the discourse functions of a number of English connectives, from 
simple coordinators (and, but) to phrases of varying complexity 
(after all, the fact is that). Using authentic spoken and written 
data from varied sources, the authors explore the ways in which 
current uses of connectives result from the interaction of syntax, 
semantics and prosody, both over time and through diversity of 
discourse situations. Most adopt an integrative approach in which 
speaker-listener or writer-reader relationships are viewed as part 
and parcel of the linguistic properties of each marker. Because it 
combines functional, generative and enunciative approaches into a 
coherent whole with a common explanatory aim, this book will be of 
interest to linguists, corpus-linguists and all those who investigate 
the semantics-pragmatics interface.
