Abstract
Cohesion and coherence are realized through the use of lexical and grammatical structures that imply existing logico-semantic relationship in phrases and clauses. Halliday and Hasan (1976) distinguish between grammatical and lexical cohesion in a text. The focus of this research is on coordination and the conjunctive coordinator and. According to Quirk et al.’s (1985) classification, the coordinator and can establish various semantic relationships between clausal structures: addition, consequence-result, temporality, similarity, condition, concession, comment/explanation or contrast. The present study of the coordinator and is conducted on the non-native speaking (NNS) and native-speaking (NS) corpora compiled in 2020 as part of the project titled Local Coherence in Texts Written in First and Second Language: Contrastive Analysis of Connector Usage with the aim of examining and comparing the various semantic relations of and in NNS and NS corpora. The expected hypothesis that the NNS learners would show overuse of and in their texts has been confirmed. Also, the overuse and specialized uses of complex relationships like concession and similarity showed that the NNS learners rely on the coordinator and to express different semantic relations. Neither of the group of learners exhibited a high frequency of errors, contrary to the presupposition. Further research should compare a larger sized NS corpus to the NNS corpus, as well as compare the usage of the coordinator and with other cohesive devices that convey similar semantic relations in order to ger more precise and relevant results on the different uses of the coordinator and.
Abstract (croatian)
Kohezija i koherencija ostvaruje se uporabom leksičkih i gramatičkih struktura koje impliciraju logičko-značenjske veze između fraza i klauza. Halliday i Hasan (1976) razlikuju gramatičku i leksičku koheziju u tekstu. U ovome radu analizirat će se koordinacija kao vrsta gramatičke kohezije, odnosno koordinator and koji može ostvariti niz značenjskih odnosa između surečenica: aditivno, posljedično, temporalno, similativno, kondicionalno, koncesivno, opisno-obrazložno ili kontrastivno značenje (Quirk et al. 1985). Istraživanje o koordinatoru and dio je projekta pod nazivom Lokalna koherencija u pisanim tekstovima na prvom i inom jeziku: Kontrastivna analiza uporabe konektora u okviru kojega je 2020. godine prikupljen korpus eseja koje su pisali neizvorni govornici engleskoga jezika. Cilj istraživanja bio je ispitati i usporediti uporabu različitih značenjskih odnosa koje ostvaruje koordinator and u korpusu eseja izvornih i neizvornih govornika. Rezultati istraživanja pokazuju učestaliju uporabu koordinatora and u korpusu govornika engleskoga kao stranoga jezika u odnosu na izvorne govornike. Učestala uporaba, kao i iskazivanje složenih značenjskih odnosa između klauza koordinatorom and (kao što su primjerice koncesija i similativnost) pokazuje da se neizvorni govornici engleskoga jezika oslanjaju na and kako bi izrazili složenije značenjske odnose. Buduća istraživanja trebala bi usporediti veći korpus izvornih govornika s korpusom neizvornih govornika engleskoga jezika te napraviti usporedbu drugih kohezivnim sredstvima s koordinatorom and kojima se ostvaruje sličan značenjski odnos kako bi se dobili precizniji i relevantniji podaci o različitoj uporabi koordinatora and.
