Темо-ремна структура и конекторен тип кохезия в английски и български научен текст

The paper discusses the differences and similarities between English scientific texts and scientific texts written in English by Bulgarians. This is a contrastive study of a specific kind employing a textlinguistic approach. Two levels of analysis are presented – the first is from the point of view of Functional Sentence Perspective and the second concerns the use of conjunctions as a cohesive device for securing structural unity of the text. Some conclusions are drawn concerning both the theoretical aspects of contrastive analysis on the text level and the practical needs of English for Specific Purposes teaching.
