Conjunction. Regarding the cohesive device is defined as something that systematically connects the clauses which are resources for making a transition in developing the text. Conjunctive elements are cohesive indirectly “by virtue of their specific meaning” (Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxx 1976, 226). Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxx introduced the scheme of four categories in which may be conjunction classified (1976, 238). They are additive, adversative, causal and temporal (Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxx 1976, 238). Additive conjunctions link textual elements by adding or negate a previous item as, e.g., and, additionally, too, furthermore, also, nor, either, neither. Adversative ones, signal an opposite to expectation like, for instance, yet, though, only, but, in fact, etc. Causal express the reason, purpose or result, e.g., so, then, for, because, for this reason, as a result, in respect, etc. Temporal conjunction has its connection with time: then, next day, until then, at the same time, at this point, etc. (Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxx 1976, 238-40).
