Configuraţia pragmatică a conectorilor argumentativi în textele dramatice moderne

Abstract: We have decided to follow in our work the pragmatical aspects of argu-
mentative connectors in the dramatical modern texts. Unlike narrative texts, the show 
offers scenes of real communication, with speakers who confront each other. Certainly 
the other types of discourse may also have this special feature, but in the dramatic 
literature, the argumentative strategies are more visible, the dramatic work offers scenes 
of true communication, with speakerswho do not cease to disagree and confront each 
other. Two of the most representative works of Constantin Cheianu In the container
and Volodea, Volodea… constituted our object of study. In this way, we present different 
relevant examples to illustrate the functioning of the connectors, which value and 
significance represented a challenge by its interpretation.
The argumentative text is a communication centered on a conative function. 
Its aim is to convince the listener on the validity of the points of view held by the author.
In an argumentative text, the author defends a thesis by using arguments that can be 
illustrated with examples. The pragmatic connectors are not constituted in „cores of 
meaning”, but they direct the speech in the direction intended by the speaker, offering 
viable marks of deciphering the meanings.
We refer to some famous connectors (but, because of, so) studied closely by 
pragmatics. Even if, from pragmatic point of view, the connectors’properties or values 
are evident (argumentative, counter-argumentative, conclusive etc.), their interpretation 
in dramatic work will be different from aspeech to another, according to the semantic 
substrates of the dramatic text.
Keywords: connectors, argumentation, pragmatic, dramatic, sense, argumentative.
