ABSTRACT

At the semantic level, cohesive words constitute a homogeneous class. For the case of coordinating conjunctions like but, yet, however, they form a distinct syntactic class, these cohesive words belong to the same semantic type and can mark interactivity relations or other species of relations. Through this paper, we try to find various aspects of structural constraints of a discourse via the relation of the hierarchical rule of insertion of the elements of a statement or a discourse. This hierarchical relationship provides us with a reference for corpus context analysis, namely the upstream and downstream of the cohesive word scope.
