In different types of text particle and conjunction perform different roles. While the primary function of conjunctions is to connect together two different parts of a sentence, particles have two main roles - they can either express mood, that is to say modality, or can function as connectors. The connective function is what particles and conjunctions have in common. In text they are put into practice as text connectives or in other words sentence connectors. On the textual level they play the role of cohesive and coherence devices as they link the clauses and sentences into a sensible whole. This Master's thesis presents a review of connective particles and conjunctive connectives in different text types. It also demonstrates their function and their use on the basis of the analysis that was carried out to observe connectors of the same kind, paying special attention to connective particles and conjunctive connectives that are homonyms and are therefore not easily differentiated.

Conjunctions are linguistic elements that link two or more words, phrases, clauses, or sentences within a larger unit, in such a way that a specific semantic relation is established between them. In the literature, conjunctions are also referred to as “connectives” and “linkers.” Conjunctions are crucial devices in the organization and cohesion of discourse because they not only build complex units but also guide speakers toward the interpretation and processing of utterances, with respect to each other and with respect to context. Consequently, conjunctions frequently develop into discourse markers, and the border between the two is in some cases subtle. Different types of semantic relations may be encoded by conjunctions, ranging from general and basic relations such as the logical ones (e.g., combination [“and”], alternative [“or”], conditionality [“if”]) to more fine-grained, specific relations, such as concessive contrast (“although”). It is not rare to find multifunctional conjunctions: that is, conjunctions encoding more than one relation (see while “at the same time”/”whereas”). Certain conjunctions encode relations that may apply to all syntactic levels (typically logical relations, e.g., and), but the majority can only link clauses or VPs because they encode relations between events (e.g., causality). The morphosyntactic properties of conjunctions show great variation across languages. In English, they are typically characterized by short, invariant morphemes occurr

Usage notes: * For the most part inb4 is interchangeable syntactically with , but only as a conjunction. It is rarely used with gerunds (as a preposition): ** Conjunction + clause: **: ** Preposition + infinitive: **: **: * Inb4 is usually found at the start of a clause, most commonly at the start of a sentence. : When used in mid-sentence, it may simply be an abbreviation of a phrasal verb ending in and . For example: :: {{ux|en|Get your votes inb4 the poll is closed.| Get your votes in before the poll is closed.|footer=Despite separating the particle from its verb that forms a phrasal verb, the sentence still retains its original meaning despite the use of inb4.}} * Because inb4, when used with its original meaning, works as a whole expression, right before inb4 is attestable. An example using the same sentence: *: * Inb4 is sometimes used in forums as a response to anticipate or comment on an action that might be perceived as incorrect by others, offering guidance or suggestions in a non-judgmental manner.
