Pragmatic: (pragmatisk, påståelig, vigtigt) - dealing with problems in a sensible and practical way. Discourse: (samtale) – the language used in particular speech and writing. Linguistic: (sproglig) – related to language words, e.g.: a child’s linguistic development Linguistics: (sprogvidenskab) - the study of language in general. Self-assesment: (selv-bedømmelse) - a judgement about a person or a situation. Acquaintance: (kendskab, bekendtskab) – receive information of something new.
A conjunction is a part of either speech or text that connects two words, sentences or phrases together. When a conjunction connects two sentences, it is named a discourse connective.
Here are some examples of coordinating conjunctions in English and what they do:
As much as it is used as a preposition, for presents a reason as a conjunction ("I have a talking doll, for I am a ventriloquist.").
And presents non-contrasting item(s) or idea(s) ("They roll and they smoke.").
Nor presents a non-contrasting negative idea ("They neither fly nor fall."
Or presents an alternative item or idea ("You can choose to go to the carnival, or go to the Gay Parade.").
Yet presents a contrast or exception ("I earn money, yet I am still poor.").
So presents a consequence ("I recently lost my girlfriends, so I am looking for love.").
Correlative conjunctions always work in pairs to join words and groups of words together in a sentence. There are six different pairs of correlative conjunctions:
1) either...or ("You either fuck off or prepare your homework.")
2) not only...but also ("Not only is he hideous, but he is also Obese.")
3) neither...nor ("Neither the curling team nor the ballet dancer team is doing well.")
4) both...and ("He both fucked them over, and screwed them over.")
5) whether...or ("Whether you succeed or not.")
6) just as...so ("Just as I am the world's greatest, so are you.")
