Abstract

The goal of this paper is to analyze the different semantic and pragmatic behavior of three related discourse connectives in Catalan: per tant (‘therefore’), aleshores (‘then’) and doncs (which does not have an equivalent in English, cannot be translated as French donc, but is equivalent to Spanish pues).
