Maria Marta Garcia Negroni, « Les connecteurs espagnols encima / además : argumentation transgressive et argumentation normative », Langages, ID : 10.3406/lgge.2001.882
This paper describes the discourse function of two additive connectives in Spanish: encima [moreover] and además [furthermore]. The study aims to demonstrate that the difference in signification between these two additive connectives can be explained appealing to normative and transgressive argumentations, following the notions defined by the Theory of Argumentation in Language and, more specifically, by the Theory of Semantic Blocks. Thus, we can explain that when using además we have to interpret the first of the connected segments as evoking normative argumentations with therefore [fr.: done] and the occurrence of encima in an enunciation as imposing a transgressive interpretation with nevertheless [fr.: pourtant]. Key words: Connectives, Argumentation, Semantic Block, Normative,
