Klumm, Matthias, Anita Fetzer & Evelien Keizer (eds.) (2023). Continuative and contrastive discourse relations across discourse domains. Cognitive and cross-linguistic approaches. Functions of Language 30:1 (Special Issue)
This Special Issue of Functions of Language is based on a workshop on continuative and contrastive discourse relations held at the 54th Annual Meeting of the Societas Linguistica Europaea (SLE 2021). The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together current research on the linguistic realization of continuative and contrastive discourse relations across discourse domains, with a particular focus on cognitive and cross-linguistic perspectives. Drawing on experimental as well as corpus-based methods, the five contributions to this Special Issue provide new insights into how discourse relations in general, and continuative and contrastive discourse relations in particular, are conceptualized and linguistically realized in various languages, including English (Fetzer & Klumm; Das & Egg; Mendes et al.), Portuguese, Lithuanian, Turkish (Mendes et al.), German, Dutch, French, Italian (Andorno et al.), and Spanish (Recio et al.).
