The book is the first corpus-based study giving a comprehensive overview of English items which have been used as adverbial connectors (?conjuncts?, ?linking adverbials?), from Old English to Present-Day English. The author analyses different characteristics of the make-up, functions and use of connectives, and considers morphological and syntactic factors as well as pragmatic, textlinguistic and socio-cultural aspects.
