Grammatical Cohesion in Abstracts

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to address the issue of grammatical cohesion in the English-written abstracts of British origin. Although grammatical cohesion involves reference, substitution, ellipsis and conjunction, the paper examines the grammatical organic means of cohesion, i.e. discourse connectives, and more specifically, only discourse adverbials, which connect sentences in order to establish logical sequence of the whole discourse. Firstly, cohesion and discourse connectives will be defined. Secondly, on the basis of discourse analysis of a sample of abstracts from the field of tourism, the discourse connectives are analyzed. Finally, the results are summarized and didactic recommendations are provided.
