CONNECTIVES CONSTRAINTS ON CONTEXTUAL EFFECTS

Journal Title: Topics In Education, Culture and Social Development (TECSD) - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1

Abstract

According to relevance theoretic approach, there are at least three types of effects upon which new input can have on context. In this paper, I mainly observe some English discourse connectives which constrain contextual effects, for example, so, therefore, etc. derive contextual implication; moreover, after all, and, etc. strengthen the existing assumption; however, but, etc. contradict and eliminate the existing assumption. I also discuss the connectives inggiged and tegeged in Mongolian, and from the discussion we conclude that the connectives inggiged and tegeged can create a constraint on all the three types of contextual effects proposed in the relevance theoretic framework.
