During the last 10 years, more and more linguistic and
psycholinguistic research has been devoted to the study of
discourse and written texts. Much of this research deals with the
markers that underline the connections and the breaks between
clauses and sentences plus the use of these markers -- by adults
and children -- in the production and comprehension of oral and
written material. In this volume, major observations and
theoretical views from both sides of the Atlantic are brought
together to appeal to a wide range of linguists, psychologists, and
speech therapists.
The volume presents contributions from researchers interested
specifically in adult language and from others concerned with
developmental aspects of language. Some contributors deal primarily
with production, whereas others concentrate on comprehension. Some
direct their attention to oral discourse while others focus on
written texts. To preserve overall coherence, however, the
contributors were given the following recommendations:
* With regard to the level of linguistic analysis, the emphasis
should be on the clause level -- more particularly, on the
relationships between clauses.
* Special emphasis should also be placed on linguistic markers
(e.g., connectives, markers of segmentation, punctuation).
* An overview of a given field of research should be offered, and
current research should be put into perspective.
* For contributors in the developmental field, attention should be
paid to the fact that an account of the acquisition of some
language functions throughout childhood should be included only if
general principles of interclause relations that might be masked by
the exclusive examination of adult evidence could be derived from
it.
