Hi everybody,
I am Goh Lan Fun from Malaysia and currently I am doing a research for my MA degree. I plan to do a research on constraints on interpretation using the discourse connectives 'so', 'so that' or 'and' using a corpus of written texts, i.e. biblical texts or newspaper articles. Is it feasible?
In fact, till now I have not decided which discourse connectives to study as I find out that there are many discourse connectives which have been studied.
Initially, I plan to study the difference between 'so' and 'so that', but I am not quite sure whether 'so that' is a conjunction or not or the word 'that' has to be there structurally only? Is there any difference between 'so' and 'so that'?
I would also like to find out the examples used in the study done on 'and' and 'so' were taken from a corpus or were formed by the researchers?
I hope to receive your reply as soon as possible.
Thank you.
Regards,
Lan Fun
