Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Provides a cutting-edge yet accessible introduction to connectives and discourse relations, with examples from a range of languages.
MoreLong description:
Illustrated with examples from a rich range of languages and genres, this book provides a state-of-the-art introduction to the meanings and functions of connectives, and the discourse relations they communicate. It begins with theoretical chapters that illustrate the many interfaces present in the study of connectives and discourse relations, using diachronic data to illustrate how connectives incorporate such a wide range of functions in synchronic language use. The second half of the book presents the rapidly growing body of studies that have used empirical data to assess theories of connectives and discourse relations, spanning fields as diverse as discourse processing, first and second language acquisition, and cross-linguistic studies. End-of-chapter discussion questions and lists of further readings are included, along with a comprehensive glossary of key terms. This title is part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be available open access. Check our website Cambridge Core for details.
'Zufferey and Degand offer a comprehensive account of discourse relations expressed with and without connectives, one of the hottest - and also controversial - topics in linguistics and psycholinguistics. It is an excellent resource for those interested in discourse processing and comprehension from a both a theoretical and applied perspective.' Maria-Josep Cuenca, Professor of Catalan Linguistics at the University of Val&&&232;ncia, Spain
