The application of conjunction can achieve cohesion. However, according to the definition of register and genre, it is hard to find the total or completed function of these conjunctions in press release. The reason why this kind of phenomenon comes cross should be discussed in this paper. For doing this research, the researcher chooses one discourse which was found at www. globaleducationfirst.com as the material and select the conjunction out to prove the function of connection in application. As a kind of research, the aim or target is more important because as all paper goes, the purpose should be concentrated on. Why a style like news broadcasting or press release has so little conjunction functions as, for example, addition, means and, or contradictive but, however, and yet, or condition/f and so on. Some of them functions as internal, but others external. Whether it is the deliberate consideration or free formation by the editor is finally should be discussed, and from this point of view, conjunction＇ s function in press release reaches the target of cohesion展开更多

This study involved in a 4-week experiment. Pre-and post-writing tests were quantitatively analyzed to examine whether the explicit instruction about DCs had a significant effect on the students'argumentative writing. The findings revealed that the ex-plicit instruction of the target DCs facilitated the improvement of the participants in their argumentative writing .展开更多

These connectives can be used to constrain the interpretation of an utterance. They are analyzed in a broad classification outlined in discourse connectives which introduce contextual implications, which are concerned with strengthening and which introduce denials. A relevance based approach to discourse is a more adequate framework than a coherence based one for the analysis of discourse connectives.展开更多
