| Abstract |
In this paper, I would like to propose a new dictionary based on Relevance Theory which is a good tool to account for the combination of English discourse connectives (henceforth DCs). First, I will show that all the existing combinatory/ordinary/CD-ROM dictionaries are insufficient for giving any explanation for the combination of DCs. Second, I will consider how the single DC so can be described in the relevance-theoretic framework. Finally, I want to suggest that a relevance-theoretic dictionary can provide explanations for the combination of DCs such as so therefore and, and so therefore. |
