Irena Hulková will aim at the analysis of linking devices viewed as significant means of cohesion in English academic prose. The corpus of texts to be analysed will include various linguistic articles of similar length, where the distribution of individual semantic groups will be investigated. The research will mainly focus on concessive linking devices regarded as the most complex of all semantic relations that may hold between parts of a discourse (Kortmann 1991:161)
