Abstract
The Italian adverb/conjunction comunque has recently acquired new textual and discoursive functions which haven’t yet been completely described.The article provides a corpus driven analysis based on a bidirectional Italian-Russian Parallel Corpus (PC) in order to show 1) the usefulness of PC for linguistic heuristic inquiry on discourse markers; 2) how a contrastive analysis helps explain the semantic value of discoursive and textual markers.
The analysis shows that comunque can be a 1) demarcative 2) conclusive 3) modal (expressing evaluation) 4) or generalization marker.
