Abstract

In this paper, I develop the hypothesis that the connectors signal the discursive actions that speakers realize during the interaction. Unlike approaches that disregard the context, this proposal considers that the connectors are linked to the situation, because they indicate that the speaker wants to produce a complete and clear intervention for the development of the negotiation process. In this proposal, context (situation) and negotiation process are fundamental notions and have been developed into a model of discourse analysis, the Modular Approach to Discourse Analysis. To illustrate the proposal, I analyze a fragment of an election debate.
