ABSTRACT

From the organizational point of view, the connective word "danshi" can assume the function of connecting different elements within the same simple sentence; and also several subordinate clauses of the same complex sentence. Above the phrastic level, "danshi" can realize the interphrastic and textual chaining in an enunciative segment or a discourse, it contributes to the structuring of the text by marking semantic-logical relations between the clauses or between the sequences that compose them. Being the most frequently used adversatives, "danshi", "dan", "keshi" and "buguo" are the most representative of the words called zhuanzhe, literally "change of direction of speech orientation".
