diskurssijänteet
Diskurssijänteet are linguistic devices used to connect ideas and create coherence within a text or spoken discourse. They act as bridges between sentences or clauses, signaling the relationship between different parts of the communication. These connectors help the listener or reader follow the train of thought and understand how various pieces of information relate to each other. Common examples include conjunctions like "ja" (and), "mutta" (but), and "tai" (or), as well as adverbs and adverbial phrases such as "siksi" (therefore), "kuitenkin" (however), and "lisäksi" (in addition).
The function of diskurssijänteet is multifaceted. They can indicate addition, contrast, causality, temporal sequence, or elaboration.
Diskurssijänteet are not limited to specific word classes; they can be single words, phrases, or even full
