چکیده

This paper gives an analysis of the connective while and the way it functions in context, based on a study of a set of while-clauses in two di erent text types. I propose to view while as one connective with a basic meaning and a number of di erent surface realizations. I show that di erent interpretations of while are subject to constraints coming from di erent directions, and that in determining how a particular interpretation arises, attributes of the sentence as well as its context need to be taken into account. In the proposed approach, syntactic structure, semantic meaning and discourse function are closely intertwined.
